hi omega knight, firstly, sorry if the ad read like i was implying the radiator was sold to me as deliberately broke, by a forum member....
PLEASE LET ME CLARIFY THAT THIS IS NOT THE CASE, and the person that sold me the radiator, offered me an immediate refund, or replace it for me, as soon as he had one.
I DECLINED HIS OFFER, AS WHEN I PHONED HIM, TO TELL HIM HOW IT HAD ARRIVED, WITH A HAIRLINE CRACK ACROSS THE TOP HOSE CONNECTION..... ON FURTHER EXAMINATION, IT WAS OBVIOUS, THAT THE DAMAGE MUST HAVE BEEN CAUSED DURING THE DELIVERY HANDLING PROCESS. THE DAMAGE WAS CLEAN, WITH NO CRAP IN IT, AND THE SELLER HAD GONE TO THE TROUBLE TO CLEAN IT ALL OUT, AND FLUSH IT, BUT THERE WAS NO RESIDUE, OR MUCK IN THE CRACK OR ANYWHERE NEAR THE DAMAGED AREA. SO I DIDN'T THINK IT FAIR TO CLAIM A REFUND, AS HE HAD DEFINITELY PROVIDED, WHAT I NOW KNOW, TO BE A VERY FAIRLY PRICED, GENUINE PART.
I'M NOT GOING TO BLAME SOMEONE, FOR DAMAGE, THAT I'M SURE, THEY WEREN'T RESPONSIBLE FOR.
To the sellers credit...he still offered to source a replacement free of charge, even after i told him, that i didn't beleive the damage was caused by, or known to him.
he sincerely was trying to help me out of a spot, and i can tell, just by reading alot of the styff on here, that this is a site, with a lot of good, helpfull, honest, and knowledgeable owners.
i'd happily buy from this site, and certainly everyone, i've had stuff before from, and especially, the seller, that sold me the radiator. i've spoken to him recently, and there's no problems between us, and everythings still sound.
if it wasn't for the silly bloke, that sent me that batch of sarcastic emails, claiming he was off here, this whole thing, would have been put to bed, with out notice.
in my haste to advertise the car that night. you'll see it was late, when it was posted, i didn't think, that mentioning the site, was going to cast any negative aspertions at all, as i only mentioned, where the rad came from. everyone that phoned about the car, or messaged me, was told exactly what i've said here. but i understand and appreciate your concern, and I appologise, if the ad offended anyone.
this is a great site, with a good bunch of people on it.
i hope this will fade into nothing, and hope that in time, the site will realise, that i am realy quite genuine...but i will certainly choose the contents of any future ads more carefully.
i hope this clears things up.
i left a message aimed at the sarcastic seller, in case he realy was from this site, all my contact info's in it, to give him the chance to either explain himself, or apologise....but i've not heard zip..!
so now...I realy don't beleive he was off here. i think my car, happened to be an omega...he'd obviusly seen the site mentioned somewhere on the internet, ....
and decided, to fill his time winging about nothing. he needs therapy..!
so i hope this clears things up...
