i think 5mm spacers would sort it, but as im going on the track when i get my new car i dont wanna do that, so just guna grind the face of the calipers down till the wheels go on, lol.

wont notice once there painted black again anyway.

hubs must be different? or the caliper brackets? fuck knows but when the bolts are tight the front wheels dont spin aha.

Shit dude, very sorry about that could the hubs be machined down a bit?

[rick_VTR]

its no bother mate.

nah i cba with that. grinding down the calipers should sort it.

guna get the rest of the tyres fitted and see what they are like on the rear wether they scrape the arches or not, if they do then i will need spacers all round so will probably just sell them. lol.

getting a bit bored of saxos now tbh :/

cool man, they sat out just about on the arch's on my car as if they where spaced. They would of scrubbed on the outside of mine

[rick_VTR]

yeh i think spacing them would spit them out abit too far.

in a couple of weeks it should be sorted and i will whack some pics up for you to see

Bit of an update, Finaly got a reply from the 'seller'. It turns out I do not get a refund if I dont receive the head as it cost him 50 quid to send it.. even tho it has cost me roughly 540ish in taxi's to get too and from work when it should have only cost me around 100 at the most.

Thats the mapping on the turbo out the fucking window.

[ed-bradley]

Thats bullshit. Is that what he's told you?

Just open a dispute if you can. Its been ages, if you havent recieved it then he's either not sent it or its got lost in transit..Which if he'd sorted the courier correctly, he would have insurance to claim costs back.

He's chatting balls.

[Barry123]

Seller's responsibility to ensure the item is received by the Buyer - in the eyes of the law.

Keep on at it.

yep but yet to see prove postage ect, well I did say I am passing through blackpool next week and that he still owes money to other people and I never got a reply.. by the sounds of it, it's my fault he split an engine and I never received the parcel. Not only that he claims he used Paisley freight which is the same company I used to split my itb'd vtr and I am sure there was 15+ parcels sent without a problem

Maybe a mod could PM him and try sort something?

That's exactly what I thought, if everybody that has been scammed contacted him maybe he might see the error of his ways.

copied and pasted from my phone.. reply from bedford

Look mate I'm not refunding anybody until I at least get the head back, iv paid for 3 lots of courier now I split a complete working engine to sell the head for £50 iv nearly spent £50 in courier charges so until I get the head or it turns up at ur house and u send it me back I won't be refunding you

[ed-bradley]

Ask for a proof of postage again.. If he has indeed sent it, there'll be some form of confirmation/tracking number for it. Untill he gives you a legit one, keep pushing on him.

I have asked him several times, fair enough if the head ever turns up or proof of postage I will take back my words ect.

I have posted this head 3 times it's cost me £48 in courier costs each time it's been returned it after 3 failed delivery attempts iv even offered to meet him half way'ish when I went to Newcastle. He told me he would contact the courier service I txt him to ask how he got on and his reply was I havnt got time to phone them...
Iv sold tons of stuff on here without any problems I sent an ecu and a head and iv had problems with both of them, the ecu issue hasn't been mentioned on here so iv brought it up myself.
The lad who bought the head has asked for a refund iv told him I am
Not refunding any money until the head is located or returned to me. I sold the head for £50 posted iv spent £48 on courier services, I split a perfectly running engine do this head as the seller was desperate for it. As for the airbox I'm 99% sure I sent a refund I havnt had chance to look through my PayPal payments as yet because I'm
On my phone things arnt as easy as having a pc in front of you.
As mentioned iv sold loads on here and many of other forums with no problems I'm
Also a paid member. In the time of me selling the head and now I changed my Phone number I was scamming any1 I wouldnt of txt the lad with the head with my new number

Your Itrader feedback says different.

its the sellers responsibility that the goods arrive. If it hasnt been delivered, thats your responsibility. Do you have a tracking code for it? You should do if its been couriered.
Normally if a courier cant deliver an item if the buyer isnt in, they'll leave a card so you can arrange for it to be redelivered. Has the buyer had one? If not, then it hasnt been sent at all.
