Suppliers Parts, Quality claims.

[mk1]

I am noticing a seriously concerning trend on the forum, this is that a number of members are constantly referring to a supplier's parts as rubbish, crappy etc. with little or in most cases absolutely no explanation as to why this is supposedly the case.

I know for certain that some people who claim to have had issues with parts supplied by one of the major players have suffered failures because of other issues, but they continue, incorrectly, & constantly accuse the supplied parts as being at fault.

I am totally sick & tired of reading posts from certain members who obviously have some sort of gripe that I'm not aware of & would strongly suggest the following;

1) If You have an issue with parts from any supplier, contact them directly & get your money back.

2) Don't buy their parts, Go somewhere else.

3) Don't bother making unsubstantiated accusations about any supplier here, it doesn't help anyone and makes you look like a bit of a loony.

4) If you do want to point out specific problems with any item, from any supplier, be accurate, honest & give as much info as you can. This is a huge help to other members & in some cases could actually lead to improvements in the parts we all use. It certainly has done in the past!

Finally, if you think that any of the parts supplied for our Minis are rubbish, you should try owning a classic car that isn't a Mini, parts availability & quality make the minor issues we have look insignificant!

Well put Mark
Specific accurate information that can assist customer purchasing decisions and perhaps supplier quality improvements is very useful
