Quote:"Hello,
I recently purchased some coilovers off you and they were advertised as good condition. After receiving them and fitting to the car I have found that they are not as described. I have had to remove the rears off the car as they were becoming dangerous due to the damping adjusters being broken . When I put them on the car I did not touch the damping dials and only changed the height of the spring. Whilst driving down the road the car bounces wildly over every bump which I wasn’t comfortable with and as a result I took a taxi to work the next day.
The next couple of days I managed to get the dial to softest settings and then to 9 clicks while an improvement over the original settings they were still not up to the task and I believe the damping to still be at fault. After this they became stuck and one started spinning infinitely in either direction.
I have spoken to Gaz and they have offered to rebuild the rears for £23.50 a side plus delivery. I paid £350 for these on the assumption they were in good working and serviceable condition. I could have bought brand new for only £XXX. I would like to see a reimbursement to cover the cost of refurbishment so they are in the "good condition" they were advertised as. If we cannot come to some kind of arrangement I will have to take out a dispute with paypal.
Also I have noticed the front top mounts also seem to have been assembled differently. One side has the number 11 piece and the other does not (http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-GRID001061). Could you please advise why this is?
Kind Regards,
