Alan, they are for the Seies 1 engine that is to go in YOD and we're originally bought by my nephew along with some other stuff for the 48 engine.  Emberton  stuff is usually of very good quality.  Yes it is about how a company deals with problems and all I can say is that I found them excellent in that respect.

Wouldn't HT lead acorns be better bought from the Distributor Doctor ???

It's how the supplier behaves/reacts when they are informed of a problem that sets apart the good from the bad.

Col Coxy, it sounds like you have been quite unfortunate

The stuff I have had from him has been of excellent quality except for some HT "acorns" for a S1.  Not their fault though it was manufacturing problem.  I flagged it up with them and I was refunded.  When they got replacements from a different supplier I was asked to trial them.

Have you contacted them end explained your problem?

Quote from: 2DieselMan on Yesterday at 10:24 PMIssue I have with the White Steering Wheel is that Paul Purchased a NOS Black Horn Centred Crinkle Painted Steering Wheel Centre for £175 from Charlesworth Mouldings Only to sand it down and Paint it WHITE!  - What a waste of £175 NOS Black Horn Centred Crinkle Painted Steering Wheel Centre!
To be expected. I suspect that was Drew's idea.

I've never had any problems and I've had quite a few parts from them, especially the proper fuel gauge sender unit which works a treat.
I order by phone and always get a discount.

I would disagree I have had issues with a couple of items sent that were scrap.  A washer pump broke after a week and tonight I was delivered a new 2a wiper washer switch at a cost of just under thirty pounds and when I went to test it and get that satisfying click the switch face broke off I am glad I didn't fit it.  Not withstanding it wouldn't work but I would hate for the motor to catch fire as a result of substandard parts!

Quote from: Adam1958 on Yesterday at 06:51 PMI think a white steering wheel makes a very bold statement, it says; this vehicle is 100% reliable and maintenance free.
.....or a tame mechanic on 24 hour stand by.
