These sensors on the rear of my tourer (FACTORY FITTED) have kept the back bumper looking pretty mint over the years. You can't always spot something from the drivers postion ,so good money well spent.

Here's me reading the listing, thinking "what's Mark on about, it looks a sensible listing to me, etc.................."






















Then I re-read it.

Surely a misprint?
You can but complete new OEM and have them sprayed for less than that.

Dunno. I thought they may have meant £29.95 so for a laugh I made an offer of £30 and it was immediately refused and thats fair enough.

I've dealt with this company before and they have always been reasonable with prices.

Hmm, I dealt with these in the past, great service unless the part arrives faulty. Then accusations of tampering, threats of violence. I let slip I had contacts within Trading Standards and further let slip their full address in a conversation. They seemed very shocked i had such accurate info. Hey presto, money refunded.

May be first class if goods are OK.

Oh, the item in question............full checked and working 3 speed fan...............

Funny that. I had exactly the same problem with something from them. As I was trying to fix my front suspension I bought a second hand set of springs and shocks for the front just to see if it was indeed what was causing my issues. I had no intention of keeping them on the car but for £25 delivered for 2 complete units I figured it's a quick way to see if my shocks were faulty.

They were sold to me as in A1 condition as nearly new. When I received them and looked at them they were in terrible condition and the springs had rusted. They were really funny with me when I mentioned that they were in no way in A1 condition and the spring was bordering on dangerous. They then just stopped dealing with me.

Now I bought them with the intention of trying them on the car and then replacing them with new if it changed the noise and reselling them on. As they were in shocking condition I couldn't reply on this at all so I complained.

I got a paypal refund. I have since bought off them but I'd never buy anything thats mechanical. Just cosmetic stuff.

Sellers Statement

"Hi, i know its a high price, i have not removed the kit from the car yet, it looks i nightmare with all the wiring, that why i put a high price so it would give me time to get the kit out. anyone is welcome to make an offer which i would proberly accept if resonable. if someone did buy at £300 then i would be striping the kit out of the car that night . but i dont think that will happen. i will keep dropping the buy it now price every week untill it sells. start high and work low. i found thats one of the best ways to sell sometimes. Many Thanks for your interest. regards"

It is so true to think that our 75 are worth more in parts than as a whole thing

have the powers head light wash, power fold mirrors, sat nav, rear sun screen, traction control, cruise control, BUT no way I am going to break her for bits

Love her to much, my pride and joy Rover probuly built the best British cars made

Shame he has not got a set of chrome door finishers, he price them at £400
