Paddock's Rip Off Artists

When the headgasket went on the rangie (at 180k) I decided to strip and completely re-build the head rather than just change the gasket,I ordered all the valves,springs gasket set ect from paddocks and a few bits they couldn't get from the dealer on the monday as i had to finish the job the coming weekend as the car was on a mates drive and he was having tonnes of blocks/sand delivered,however when the parts arrived from paddocks on thursday i was 4 inlet valves missing but i had a set of small end bearings for something insted.Ok so mistakes can be made so i rang them the following day and explained and they said we'll send the valves out but they won't be with you untill monday.I agreed but later on that day ended up going to swansea 4x4 to pick up some valves they had in stock as the car had to be moved that weekend,anyway finished the job and realised the following wednesday i still hadn't rec'd anything from paddocks.Upon ringing them again they said they had no record of my call and nothing had been despatched .It worked out ok for me in the end as they refunded me for the unshipped valves but if i'd not got the replacements from elsewhere i'd be well ****ed off waiting for them to get they're act together.Only thing i can say is they're prices are good though.

I think you get what you pay for at the end of the day.

Or you don't in many cases.

Ordered some shocks and bump stops from Paddocks yesterday, phoned em b4 ordering to check on some part no's (they won't give em out over phone) and recieved a phone call an hour after ordering online to let me know they were short of two nuts and to confirm I had ordered the right parts for the Disco.

Took the express delivery and recieved parts today, so as a 1st timer with them they've been spot on...and the bloody "clunk" when going over speed humps will now disappear.
