    Default Chris Astley !!! Also help with Valeo rads

    I have been looking for a genuine Valeo GSi radiator for a while but I could find one. Recently purchased one off Chris Astley. He had it advertised on his site as a Valeo one, with the Valeo product number. I didnt receive the item for more than 3 weeks.

    I emailed and phoned for two weeks but no answer! It arrived today and to my astonishment he sent me a Nissens one. I was fuming, I didnt get what I paid for. So I checked the site and now he has the rad changed to a Nissens one.

    I now know what people are on about, he is just a plain scammer!!!!

    This has been known for a long long time, he ripped several people off over time... Blamed his suppliers... Got his wife involved to back his bullshiit up... Then moved away... Disappeared for a while... Then started back up.

    Sounds like he's still a con merchant then!!!

    Why so eager for a valeo item? Surely a decent motor factors can get the equivalent these days, bearing in mind the last gsi was built in 94... 20 years ago

    Did think that would be the case.

    Edited the thread title Murph so it may also help others in the future if that's okay.
