Looking forward to your reply.

Best regards.

I wonder how many people who order them at their re-listed price of £19.99 will get the same message

.

My guesstimate is none.

I'll let someone else test out that theory

Just confirmed to them that I want a refund..............

Then I asked why they are relisted at £20 if they are faulty.

I'm guessing they will say it's a different batch LOL

There seem to be a few China based sellers on ebay listing them for around £25. I guess somemone in China has started to produce generic items.

The problem going forwards will be differentiating these, whose quality we can guess, from the real, genuine ones.

Maybe you should have said to them being as you are now selling the the mount at £20 is this another supplier you have used and if so sorry but I expect you to keep to your part of the transaction and supply my mounts for the price you listed them at £0.99 I await the product thank you.

Hi Maninder
I agree that is why it is best to purchase the original mounts, that is if they are still available I still do not believe the story about the diesel original mount with the letter T stamped on it being now made in the mould of the M letter but with a different compound a painted dot being added so you know the difference.

The story behind that was the diesel mould got damaged or lost

I doubt it.

That's pretty much what I was told - not sure I believe it either... but there we are

Glad I've got a few T mounts stashed away in the time capsule, just in case!

Ours come to us in the OE supplier's boxes, strapped and sealed so we're pretty safe from that.
Wouldn't want to risk the quality of aftermarket rubber I've seen and tested from China on an engine mount... but I was curious to see how these are. I guess we'll never know!

Ah, would you believe it, they're the defective ones

. At least they're protecting your benefits

DMGRS · 8th November 2018, 09:52

I bought a couple to compare to the SAIC items, and got the same email. I've asked for them anyway even if defective - let's see what happens!
