are they getting the messages  ? Ask a mod to forward one for you would be my first step and they may also help if the messages are just being ignored try emailing him if you can see it

X4....can I ask what did he sell you?

It was a high pressure fuel pump that leaked from the seal on the front of the pump, leaked that bad even when the low pressure pump primed I had fuel every where, replaced the seal and there was no leak. But after the leak was fixed I was only getting 5 bar of fuel pressure on idle. witch should be 50bar. I just don't understand why you would sell a faulty pump like that? I have dealt with quite a few people on the forum and everyone has been so honest.  Just makes you think twice!:(:(

I was looking forward to the day I could buy and sell stuff on this forum.  Personally I would name and shame that person before he rips another person off.  Hope you get this solved mate.   :happy2:

I thought his username looked familiar,

He sold me some Valeo Rear LED tail lights a few months back, For some reason they didn't work properly on my car but worked ok on his.

He gave me a refund.

He does sell a lot of stuff on here, so I don't understand why he wont reply to your PM's or posts.

I do hope you get it sorted out mate.

Atleast the internals are worth £200 and you can swap them into your pump.

yeah I did try using the internals in my good pump and no change still had zero fuel pressure.  Put my original internals back in to my pump and had fuel pressure again :(:(

I think gazon69's story was that he bought a written off Ed30 from his relative, to strip down & sell the parts, that he comes on here not regularly.....

I was interested in his armrest, but never got a reply to pm's. Eventually I posted into another for sale thread he had, and he replied that it was sold.....maybe I had a lucky escape   :popcornsoda:
