    I have good experiences with dbilas. They are 30km from me, the quality from the cams was always excellent, and the communication and prices too. If you buy more you can get huge price reduction.

    What made you choose Dbilas over the more mainstream brands like Piper or Kent? Are they much cheaper?

    Either way, they need to do something about it - not sure what your rights are - but the sales of goods act is always a good 'catch all'!

    They are cheaper, but Dbilas are a well known firm so I thought they would be ok.
    If you look at their Facebook page there are a quite a few reviews by people saying they don't respond to emails, so I'm not alone. I will add I have called them and spoken to them as well but they didn't seem that interested in what I had to say.

    I just won't be spending anymore money with them and I hope a few people are put off using them.

    man, that sucks. half a revolution life span.

    probably got thrown like javelin into the back of the delivery van before you go it.

    unlucky in one sense, but lucky it snapped before you fired the engine up, or it woulda probably trashed the head

    Well after Dbilas basically saying it must have been fitted incorrectly, they have finally agreed that I can send it back to them for inspection, I still expect them to try and wriggle out if this, but I will keep this thread updated.
