With the private feedback thing, a while ago I bought some 'john cooper' alloy 4 pots from the same guy, but back then he was known as s_works.
The guys name is steve fiddimore, and apparently (from somone replying to a post of mine on miniclassic forum) he had something to do with breaking stolen minis a while back. Im not sure if thats true or not as I never found out. Having said all that, he is probably fine and it was someone gossing uneccessarly!
The calipers broke soon after when the sprung a leak through the casting and I lost my brakes! Extreamly scary.
Dont want to worry you but..... Sorry.
Why would someone change their user ID all the time?

Im sorry DavesBluey, I wasnt sure if I should post that or not , but if it was me id like to know.
When I bought the calipers thats what someone said to me. Having said that, he was very helpful in helping me to fit them to my mini.
I feel a tad bad telling you as the metro sounds like a great bargin.

Yea, I checked the reg through the RAc checker, but then that won't flag up a ringer. Just saying be careful and check that the chassis numbers or VIN plate hasn't been tampered with. Although that is something you should check anyway.

I don't really think he's gunna go to the effort of robbing a metro, and ring it for £80?!
