HAHA! this makes me laff, i just foned min-its up, i can get both sides for £36.90 ses it all doesnt it!

Yea, alot of people have said they've never had any problem with MiniSport, but I've heard an equal amount of people say the service and prices have been rubbish!

Try DSN Classic, I dealt with them yesterday and got fantastic service, and parts are sent out next day delivery as standard!

[miniman5]

it doesnt look liek they have what im after.

on the subject of shops....have people ever had problems with minispares, i mean i love there prices but they lost my order and i been waiting 3 wks for it cause they didn't have it in stock...now i got to re-order every thing and wait again...

[Jackman]

I use minispares, i noticed that mini sport where really expensive when it came to parts. The only down side to minispares is that if one part of the order is out of stock they cannot hold the order until the part comes in stock.

mini spares messed me around with my exhaust took 3 weeks till everything was sorted

[Madmax]

im not giving minisport a penny if i can avoid it, ive had one or two arguments over the phone with the orders they've messed up...

ive used minispares once or twice but their postage is absolutely stupid

i now much prefer ebay

Well, I hardly use MiniSport anymore because I had C**p service from them in the past.

The only problem I've found with MiniSpares are that some items that you would expect them to keep in stock, weren't! Nothing unusual just a master cylinder, and a quick rack.

However with regards to delivery, I think they have this sorted now. I rang them yesterday to order lower arms, bushs, new exhaust system and manifold, quick rack, drop bracket, fuel lines, clutch hoses and master cylinder. With all that the postage was only £7.80 for next day delivery. The didn't have a couple of things in stock, so I asked them to send out what they had in stock today and send out the other stuff when they get it in, they said it wouldn't be a problem, although I will incure another delivery charge which I don't mind.

Also I would like to say, the guy I was dealing with said he would ring me back on two different occasions because he had to check things with certain people, and on both occasions he did. Now alot of companies don't do that anymore. You just never hear from them again!

Minisport have got increasingly worse over the past couple of years, i've rang them up to ask if they've got stuff in stock only to get there 30 minutes later and they haven't got any or had any.

They seem to have got worse since they started with bini stuff and lack a lot of basic stuff like gaskets etc. There are a lot of so called specialists out there that aren't that good. I think a lot of minisports problems are toi do with staff, one of the main guys seems to be taking more of a back seat and doesn't deal with counter sales etc very much but he used to be very good and helpful a shame really.

minisport have C**p service and high prices, but if you can buy "over the counter" from them, the advantage is that 99% of their products are quality things (i.e. chrome bits, suspension bits etc. are all good quality and not the really cheap stuff). Doesn't mean you should buy their engines though

[Bluemini]

I've never had any probs with either places myself, but prefer buying from Huddersfield as they have done me some good deals in the past.

Just out of interest, are Welsh Mini Spares still going? That place was a joke, I spent loads with them in one order, then when the stuff turned up it was all the wrong stuff.

[gsms]

never, Ever, EVER use Autobreakers.co.uk!!! about 2 weeks for a headlamp, and when it came this morning it was totally cracked already, so I had to send it back anyway and wait for another!!

[miniman5]

no way, thats a bummer

[ministox man]

the only good thing with minisport are their cams they're 10 for a penny and give me power all through the rev range
