    The only thing I would like to add was I dealt with home for some of the conversion parts for my nova, strengthening plates and upgraded mounts and the service was actually very good, ordered them at 2.30 where delivered to my work instead of my home by 11 the next morning, wouldn't know on genuine parts but some things he is fairly good on, I can't say for everything but my one and only experience with him was actually positive :/

    Never had a single problem with him myself. Although I didn't live to far away.

    He even sold me a cheap nova gte many moons ago

    The best thing about C A was when his bird replied on here a few years ago trying to back him up

    Got sorted with finding a new Valeo rad, I'd say I will have it for the end of next week.

    Still trying to get paypal situation sorted with C A. He told me I could keep it and give me £10 refund or to post it back to him for full refund but its going to cost me more than £20 to post. I wanted him to cover the costs first to which he has not replied yet!

    To be honest this is just unwanted hassle to me. Why send someone something they did not pay for or want. A simple phone call to say you did not have a specified item and that you had an alternative would suffice. Instead he sent me the wrong item thinking it would not matter.

    The only reason I wanted a Valeo rad is because the car is genuine throughout!

    He didn't call you to let you know like any other decent suppliers because he's a renown penny pinching bellend!

    Glad you found an original one Murph-GSi,

    Where did you source it from In the end and if you don't mind disclosing how much was it?

    Heh kev, I had to email Vale and they gave me the suppliers numbers in Ireland. Rang one up and they ordered for me. Will have it this Wednesday and cost me €100. Hope that helps lad.

    The dispute is continuing on Paypal with Chris Astley still, great fun!!! Also I got a new Valeo radiator which one of my friends collected, all the numbers matched but I was disappointed to see it has a goldy type coating and it is not made by Faesa now. Also it says Valeo classic on it and made in China. Anybody care to shed any light on this?
