Fair Price

[Donato]

As Paul said thats the manifold, what are the actual turbos like?

I would think that for the price you payed and the description that you would expect a manifold to be in good condition.

Second hand standard turbo packs sell around £100-£200.

Cheers

Well i have to say, the picture of the manifold is misleading. There is no cracks in the for sale picture....

Sorry to hear about all the problems with your turbo\'s.

I have a twin turbo pack for sale, manifold etc included going for £250 ono in good condition, no cracks on turbos or manifold. Turbos in good condition, was boosting lovely on my UK RX but now going single!!!

i will probably fit the set i have with the manifold i bought if this isn\'t resolved by the time i need to fit them back on the car after the rebuild. But if i have any problems i willing be taking them up Scoomer.

I have been offered a couple of sets but at the moment i am trying to sort out the last bit of cash for the rebuild kit so all my money is tied up.  thanks for the offer though

I would think that due to this situation, for clarification, you should be allowed access to your old pm\'s.

Ask whoever a mod, Clive, Glenn etc if they can help you.

I have now asked thanks

[Glenn Butcher]

Dean - you have the access for today, but as I mentioned it will be for today only.  Why don\'t you join up?  You are obviously getting help from us.

Many thanks will post a cheque for membership once i get paid on friday.

according to the Pms \'entitled turbo pack\'

i paid

 Â£175 + the delivery  (£23.03p for delivery).

and was told

\'The turbo pack is off my 95 fd and was in good condition when removed!\'
before buying

and when i recieved them i sent

\'ive recieved the turbos but there is a problem there is cracking around the flange and between the two chambers see thread

http://www.mazdarotaryclub.com/foru...&threadid=14264

this is the sort of problem with them. I will remove my turbos in the next week or so but if mine are cracked in the same place i may want to return them.\'

the reply was

\'Hi, i spoke to my tuner who removed the and was told that the cracking is common and was asured that they fine to put back on.\'


last month i sent a pm saying i wished to return them as mine were cracked but did not have any reply.

i reminded him of the pm on the weekend and said that £50 would be fine as that would cover the cost of the replacement manifold.

i recieved this reply

\'I recieved your PM while i was on holiday and by the time i got back i forgot all about it, the turbo\'s i sold you i had checked by a specialist prior to putting them up for sale and he gave them the OK! I took into the account that they were slightly cracked with the price, thats why they werent £350 and only £170. So im sorry, i wont be refunding £50 to yourself.\'


i have asked what specialist but not recieved any answers and he has been online reading this forum on more than one occassion

[johnf]

So you saw the first pic - thought thats ok and ended up with the second pic

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...................

[SCOOMER]

It seems your a bit gutted over the price you paid for them?

My advert says "OFFERS" and you OFFERED £200 + postage.

I spoke to my tuner and reduced the price to £175 + postage and you agreed.

I even posted a thread showing the CRACKS, Remember? probably not Eh?

I refused to give you back your £50 as i was told that these turbos were ok to go back on. If they were or are junk why was mine producing 12PSI with no probs? Now im no expert but who am i to believe? A specialist or someone i dont know from adam?

I was considering giving you £25 back for the manifold as i had already reduced it from £200 to £175 = your £50 Back.

Dont think posting which specialist told me their ok is going to help, do you?

Oh and john f, the first pic is not what i sold him. Thats a seperate/different bit of the manifold! The turbo bolts to that and the manifold bolts to the rotor housing.

[deanflowers]

they are two different parts i think, i saw the top half of the turbo manifold which was the side that doesn\'t tend to crack (pic one in the advert).

[johnf]

I stand corrected.

[deanflowers]

that post is dated December 2004 i bought them in April sorry but i wasn\'t looking for turbo packs back then not surprised you still had them.

i wouldn\'t of minded paying £200 for them if they were fine,

I will accept the £25 back as you knocked £25 off please send my cheque to MRC as my membership.

I will not be doing buisness with you again and hope i have no further problems once fitted.

Hi Dean,

I was the one who removed the Turbo pack from this car and returned them, I was asked "is the Turbo Pack serviceable" my answer was yes they have a small amount of wear in the Turbo\'s but are perfectly serviceable for a good few miles yet !

As Rich says, the part you are showing is NOT the turbo pack so l really cant see what the problem is because had you brought this pack from me you would have paid the same price and would not have even got the manifold which is the part your complaining about, because l would have thought you would have used your manifold anyway.

To keep this in prospective good quality service exchange Turbo\'s will cost around £2200 and Mazda units £5000

If you brought just a serviceable manifold from this Guy l could see the problem but if you just brought a set of Turbo\'s, i.e. "Turbo Pack", then l cant, sorry.

Rather than all this on the site you could have contacted me direct and l would have willingly explained what you were looking at and l am still puzzled why you contacted MRC for my details when my mail address is under my signature and there is a phone number under my ShyAuto, 01474 361800

Although l do now hope this clears up any missunderstangs that have occured here.
