Dont know whats been going with that wasteral Corrin but I had the misfortune to visit his premises to collect some spares for a 75,and contrary to popular belief i found him to be one of the most helpfull persons I have met for a lomg time,his knowledge and insite into the workings of our cars is incredible,As I said I dont know whats gone on as I have not been on the site for some time.With ref to the auction I cant compete with blind goats,goat herders,tins of spam,spam spam,spam with chips or anything else,pianos upright or other wise stale choclate raisins the list goes on I could however offer a dismantled TR7,with a lot of the major componenants missing and a bag of toffes that have been in my pocket and are covered with fluff

Well it could be worse, Corin - you might have broken down today.

greendriver · 7th August 2011, 20:02

I have never heard of any company that hasn't had a complaint from time to time, ocasionally lengthy and serious ones. The big companies can afford customer service departments to sort this out. They charge bigger prices usually (and sometimes bluster) accordingly.

It can be frustrating when a request doesn't get an immediate reply, but not everyone has the same "opening hours".

I work in a council contact centre, and have to contantly put up with people who expect an answer to their queries within 5 minutes...

I had a compliment call last week...made a change....

How about a half eaten domino's pizza , a mad cat , a rapidly cooling TESCO cooked chicken and a brand new BELLING GAS COOKER THAT I CANT GET PLUMBED IN .

I have had a few things of you Corin, and one of my mates purchased some TF seat covers from you, thank you for the excellent service! NO hesitation in recommending you at all.

Don't support you have any half leather "black-spotted Picadilly" seat covers from a vvc coupe do you?

Starman · 7th August 2011, 23:17

I don't know if I can or should post here.
I dont think I ever bought anything from Corin!
Not because I didn't want to. Because I never needed to....yet!
I remember him joining.... And I have seen endless posts from very happy people buying, bought and about to buy from him. Recommendations throughout this forum speak for themselves time and time again.
And always happy to help and pass on advice should be his motto.

It has saddened me greatly to view the threads and I feel deeply for Corin.
It's always fine when something is running like clockwork or you are getting a great deal on something. But it's funny how quickly those wheels stop turning as soon as someone is miffed about something. Then your mans worst enemy!
I know, I work for a mobile network and as soon as a mast is down..."blasted network, can never get a signal now it don't work at all!!! How much line rental you gonna give me back? Can I have a free phone now?" Etc etc... when in reality they have had unswerving service and no dropped calls since joining the network!!

After explaining his circumstances as best he felt able and offering monies back, free goods and a solution to an unfortunate set of circumstances "I" feel Corin has made the best effort ANYONE could have made.

I'm not blaming the original OP. Everyone has a right. And as said differences sorted so that's good done and dusted.

Corin. I hope you don't sell all your bits n pieces for a shed load of goats, Vlovos, barley, women, umpteen cases of scotch or bags of Lego. Ok maybe the women.... But seriously. If you can keep things going I know this forum, your friends, and new customers will have a dependable, skilled and honest man at the end of an email or phone call.

I also hope that whatever challenges you have had to deal with lighten and things get back to normal for you.

AND I want a powerfold window switch now, so I was going to mail you incase you knew of one

Good luck mate. Kindest regards. Steve.

Excellent post.

Muey will still take a back seat on this. A pat on the back is the hardest thing to accept, it makes you weep, (well it did in my case). stand up with tears in your eyes and give the person who patted you on the back a great big hug, and pat them on the back.
