DO NOT BUY ANYTHING OFF MARK3 THE GUY IS A COMPLETTE TOSSER MY OPINION

RIGHT IVE BOUGHT A HEAD OFF HIM ADVERTISED AS A 325 HEAD
with new cam kit etc it turns out after fitting and further investigation its a 320 head
yes i gave him points cos it was delivered on time because im on a deadline toget the car sorted.

Turns out though that after a few phone calls and texts he isnt willing to refund me mymoney Ԛ£225 or send me what was advertised a 325 head
either id be happy with
the closest i gotto getting a 325 head off him was to send him another pile of money i havntgot
not onlyhas this cost me 225 for the head but also cost me a headset which is now fucked and my time

to say im pissed off is an understatement

basicaly i cant do fuck all
except lose the moeny i have forked out aint gona get my money back for a 320 head that now sat here along with 2 fucked 325 heads i already have.

So please be aware DON NOT HAVE ANY DEALINGS WITH THIS GUY

i am now going to scrape my touring as i can not afford to put anymore money into it

thanks mark you shafted me big time you cunt

btw i have your address

how can someone do this to another zoner, i'm in disbelief.
he should arrange the collection of the wrong head, and send down the correct one.
and what about compensation for the gaskets and your time.


the ball is in your court mark3

That's really bad luck, can't believe that just because of this guy Nemo's gonna be scrapped :cry: :x

If he refuses to give your money back, surely the receipt stating that it's a 325i head would help?

bugger the gasket, thats irrelevant to be honest guys. the fact that he advertised a head as being for a 325 when its not is wrong.

mark, in reality mate, you have 2 options to save yourself....

1)give richy his Ԛ£225 back and you can have the 320 head back. richys only loss then is on the headset. Your only loss then will be the postage fees to take the head back that you wrongly claimed was for a 325. I re-word that for you - It was YOUR mistake.

2)Send richy the 325 head that you told him that you have. Richy WILL send the 320 head back in exchange. Ive dropped stuff off at Richys a couple of times and left without asking for payment. Richy has chased ME to GIVE me the money for the items he has had - thats how honest this guy is!

The E30Zone is a tight-knit community and people who have shafted others on here dont last long at all. The last person who tried conning a Zoner got ousted and is in prison for fraud (it wasnt ONLY the e30zoners he was conning, it was all sorts of forums). The point im making is this - if you dont give richy his money back or exchange the 325/320 heads, you wont sell ANYTHING on here EVER again, because people just wont trust you. It really is that simple. The Zone is a good place to sell e30 parts and you could earn a lot of money off this place, IF you are honest and fair and decent.

Dont be a tw@t mate, see sence and face the fact that you sent him incorrect goods and lets resolve this in the proper manner.

:yeahthat: couldnt put it better than that mate

its upto you mark3 the zone wont trust you at all if this aint resolved and is it really worth it for Ԛ£250?? like scott said if you wanna sell parts its almost guarenteed theyll sell on here and you could make plenty if you get yaself a good rep think about it mate

Richy only just realised it was you cant believe it mate yet again a spanner in the works i feel for you man ive had cars that have been just as unlucky hope this gets resolved and you get everything sorted mate good luck Daz leeds

howam i being 2 faced
and if you think im sending thefog light now your mistaken
not untill this is sorted

its a 320 head
around thevalves are smaller than a 325 and the number onthehead is different to a 325 and this i belive i told you on the phone

now asking for a refund and collection of this head isnt to much to ask
and also its been checked by a family freind that hasdone my famileies cars for years and this is one of the few mechanics i trust or let near my car

I have a FAIR idea, as neither of you will want to send the other the goods/money first... why dont you send the money AND goods to a moderator OR send the goods COD

I have been visiting these forums for years dealt with loads of people yet this lad thinks he can try & publically shame me if i sold him a cracked warped rusted head fair enough if there is a mistake been made its been made from who i bought it off not me, keep the zone to yourself you dont need robbing scumbags like me around do you thank you touring daddy I will return your wallet camera & phone later after i finish community service, been nice on here goodbye.

if you read my post correctly, it says "DONT be a tw@t" not "you are being a tw@t"

Lets do this one step at a time and i wont call anyone names or anything (Mark & Richy, do likewise) ok....

Right....
Richy wanted a 325 head. he got a 320 head.
You have Ԛ£225 off Richy, yes? (correct me on anything thats incorrect here)

IF richy sent the head back to you, would he get his Ԛ£225 back?
This is step 1.

theres a simple solution to this mess.

just do as scott suggests and send richy back the money and he sends u the head back.

this would be the end of it - you keep your good name and richy at least gets the money from the head back.


personally i think u ought to pay something towards the headset that richy had to buy and is now ruined, but thats up to if you feel like doing what shud be the right thing to do.

there is really no point the money isnt going tobe returned.
all i havehad off markis put the 320 head aside andhe will send mehis 325 head for something of simular money or more money
sorry but that isnt happening

im being made to look a cunt when i was supplied thewrongparts withno offer of refund after countless phone callls and text which i have saved and which are all unreasonable.

As there is going tobe no end to this i would ask the mods again to close and delete these threads before things turn nasty

i am down money andhave a pat that is no good to me and not what it was said to have been.
I now know who to have dealings with from now on and im sticking to the welsh lads unless someone is highly recomended by the welsh lads.

i havent had these problems with scot with the engine i had off him
even while he was in italy he still sorted things out andfor that he is a top guy.

So all my dealings will be with scot jonb and simon

now can this be closed now
thanks Richy

sorry to bop in here

but I have to disagree with you Graigeeib

I believe mark3 that he "just" made a mistake shit happens you know :roll:

only thing I have to say is that it is up to mark to sort this out becauss after all it is his fault, just give Richy a refund and he WILL send you back the head, I have never heard anybody complain who dealt (spel) with richy so you Can trust him he will send you the head back, or sort him out a 2.5 head :)

to richy, please don't brake nemo man just sell the wheels etc. but keep nemo :D :wink:
