bought a set of shoes and pads for my pickup 15/3 online
arrived 18/3 so fitted them that evening
straight out of the box these brakes were shockingly bad,even dangerous
rang supplier who said "adjust rears ,you haven't fitted them properly, need bleeding"
so did....again but they were still borderline dangerous
did a few careful miles about the place but they wouldn't bed in,so last friday ordered decent kit from the local motor factors,which i fitted yesterday
straight out of the box these are top notch
while i had both sets apart i compared them and the shoes from online was near 2mm smaller hence only touching about a third of their diameter so the fronts were doing all the work and getting hot
showed photo and video evidence to the firm and they basically said "we'll make a note of it and leave it at that" no returns to examine,no sorry and no refund
now its only just over 40 quid and i'm willing to chalk that to experience but the way they accused me of not knowing how to fit stuff and the after sales attitude has riled me
would trading standards be interested?
