My personal experience -- contacted Mr. Edward Fear, proprietor of Gwent/NoFear through eBay about two front and a rear safari door for my 110. He called me, said he had 3 doors in good nick, had been repaired at bottoms and were in primer, ready to bolt on.

Like a fool, I did the deal outside eBay. Took two weeks for doors to arrive. I knew the doors were used and repaired, so I didn't expect perfect. The "Repairs" turned out to be ****e, bits of tin BRAZED over the rusty steel still in place, slathered with bondo and sprayed with undercoating to hide the problems. Primer is sprayed right over original paint, no sanding, scuffing, nothing. I can peel it with my thumbnail.

After cleaning up the rear door to assess the condition, it ended up in the scrap pile and I bought a new replacement. The front doors are being used because I really need them now and cannot currently afford to replace them.

Edward Fear refused to respond to emails, and when I phoned he hung up. Some day when I have time I'll visit him. He won't enjoy it.
they are now trading as direct 4x4 salvage in sling industrial estate over coleford direction now if that is any help to anybody if they want 2 get even :)
 
Yep, I'm in the same boat. Robbing Cu*ts. And they know fu*k all aboout land rover also.

He did try and sell me some "as new" Defender doors, which were surroned by piles of filler dust. He asked what colour I wanted them, and when I said bear metal he soon lost interest. Wonder why.
 
Apparently Coleford Police are the ones to contact re the Fears, Gwent 4x4 etc etc. Do it for everyone's sake!!:boxing:
 
I got this info from another Forum so do not know why Coleford Police should be interested but maybe one of the three copers is on a mission. Point is that agrieved customers should not give up and let these scumbags get away with their crimes, and crimes they are!:flame:
 
I have just seen that the Fears have moved their business to Coleford posing as Direct 4x4 Salvage so this may be why Coleford police are on their case. Perhaps they are beinf proactive!

I agree but who gives a toss about if someone is new. Its freaking childish. He got ripped off and searched on forums and came up with this site and added his experience.

This is what we need and it helps.

He needs to learn punctuation. You need to learn on here that sometimes peeps turn up and slag off companies that they supposedly have dealt with only to be actually workin for said company, or even stirrin for other companies etc.

LOL duh, apologies if I came across as one of your N00bs... Clearly but you need to learn that some people are genuine... You think someone needs to post 1000 posts of drivel to earn a reputation. ?

Do you really think someone with that bad a grammar/spelling/english would really be trying to post reputable posts slagging/supporting any company ?

If you dont have new people onboard the forum will only go one way ? up its own backside.... Yes earn a rep on a board but also accept that some people came to the board and registered as they had something to say....I came here a long time ago as I had issues with a towbar if I recall... I wasnt trying to sell them or slag of the fabrication company... I just wanted to offer help and advice and hear from someone who had dont it before.

ease up on trolling do you think some of your posts added anything ? "and your point is" ? Let people make up their mind and others have a say so without instant flaming. We are all adults and I am sure can spot the blatant fake folk out there.

With minty on this, how about some punctuation, it doesn't have to be perfect, but I haven't got clue what the heck you are trying to tell us or what actually happened in the end :confused::confused::confused:

He went down to see the Fears with his mate and a baseball/cricket bat and the Fears payed up. Simple:D
 
Shame to hear all bad things about No Fear / Gwent 4x4 breakers , not the first bad reports i've heard mind. I've had bits of them in the past but living relatively close i went to buy in person, but i suppose it,s not so easy to rip someone off face to face hey.
