I was looking to see if I could find some replacement pistons for a set of D tops and came across this website

SC Parts Group

I've never heard of them before but their prices seem extremely reasonable?
How long have they been around and has anyone bought from them?

The book is a brilliant reference of exploded diagrams. Handy for putting things back together in order!

I have ordered once from them, that's went okay. They then randomly charged me for items I had never ordered for a Mini I have never owned. It took the best part of a year to get my money back, and that was only when threatened with legal action, even though I sent the items straight back. I won't be using again, it's not worth the potential headache if it happened again!

Both myself and my mate Paul have used them a lot (they are local to where we work).

The catalogue is very good plus they do tend to stock most of the bits including a lot of the small bits and pieces. Keep an eye out for when they do their Specials as there can be some seriously good bargains.

The panels they supply are bought in from other suppliers ie Magnum, Hadrian etc so you could get these cheaper else where. The lads on the phone desks are very helpful so its always worth belling them if you have problems.

Thanks for the replys.

Sounds like a difference of opinions but I guess any company no matter how large and prestigeous can make mistakes, let alone a less well known one.

I'll keep an eye on the prices then, see if I can't grab myself a bargain.
