Lankytim Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Ordered some parts for the wife's Fusion from Car Parts 4 less. Their website was acting a little odd. I needed 4 spark plugs, an air filter and some HT leads but when I got to the checkout there was only 1 spark plug in my basket. After a few attempts at altering the quantity it finally went though..... after I'd paid I realised I'd actually ordered 1x set of leads, 1x spark plug and 3x air filters. Doh! I immediately rang their number to cancel the order and after 5 mins on hold listening to a message telling that delivery times were now a minimum of 1 week due to COVID I got through to a nice lady who found my order and cancelled it. Great. I was late for work so decided to re-order the correct items the following day. The following afternoon I got out of bed after a long night shift to find 1x set of plug leads, 1x spark plug and 3x air filters sat by the front door. My wife had taken delivery that morning.

jakebullet Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 I'm going on holiday to sunny* Hull on Wednesday. Taking the disco as more room for crap. Checked all the fluids and had a look round underneath just in case the chassis has snapped or other typical land rover fails. Bastard fuel filter is leaking. I know they've put it in the most stupid place possible, but does nobody make a filter that doesn't rust thru within a year? Think I've had all the major brands now.

It started up fine once that was sorted and is now on its way south with its lucky* new owner.

ALWAYS shop around every year. It's 10 minutes on a Compare the Scoundrel website, I'm over 50 with 20-odd years NCB and just about every year I find someone £50-£100 cheaper than whoever I'm with. They get the courtesy of one phone call to see if they want to match the lower quote and that's it. Esure lost my business this year because they couldn't be arsed answering the phone so I went elsewhere and paid £220 instead of £270.

Is there something special about them? I know that flat bottomed VW steering wheels cost an arm and a leg. I wanted one for my Transporter as i had changed the seats, not realising at the time-because I was so pleased I had got them to fit the floor runners-that the seat base was 4 inches higher. Easiest and cheapest way to get around this was to reinstate the standard VW seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
