So we eventually agree to have new head gasket sent out. Which I was very pleased about. Until nearly a week later after having 48 hour delivery, we call up to ask what has happened to it and find out they have lost our order. Okay, they sent us another one Gasket. We got it today and opened it up to find this:
Photos taken about 30 seconds after opening.
As you can see the corner is bent completely off the backing, its bent away from the middle, it was sticky and oily. The whole gasket is bent. And there is no damage to the postal packaging.
Is this some kind of joke because we argued the fact that they had made a faulty part?
A second Gasket Kit turned up Saturday morning as well I wasn't there to receive it but it was taken straight out to the garage to get fitted, but never the less, the 1st one shouldn't of bust, the 2nd one shouldn't of been lost, and this 3rd one shouldn't be in this kind of state.
My family and I have spent what must be getting close to £1000 with The Company since I got my mini since November, and then get awful customer service, bad attitude towards a complaint about a gasket kit which doesn't cost more than £30 after spending near to a £1000 with them, then this rather unfunny joke of a Head Gasket.
Its Unacceptable.
I've left this company, a well known parts supplier anonymous for legal reasons.
Rant over.
James, disgruntled customer.
