Good customer service, item arrived quickly and did the job!

Goods orderd were received on time and I was kept informed of the order status throughout.
Looks like a good kit - haven't used it yet.

Lost delivery time due to POSTAL STRIKE but turned up in good time. Main thing the brake pressure switch was half the price of Classic Spares.

Great service!

Goods received and fitted within 10 days. Smashing

Excellent service and swift delivery 10/10.

I bought a full carburettor rebuild kit from this company via Ebay (item #143547258099) for a Zenith 36IV Carburettor prior going on a road trip of a lifetime to The Outer Hebrides in a Series 2 Land Rover in May.

The kit was intended as a backup in case anything went wrong with the carburettor on this 62 year old vehicle. Unfortunately, we had an episode where the engine started running rich and suspecting that the E10 Petrol had destroyed the O ring or the accelerator pump diaphragm in the carburettor, I broke in to the kit to replace both components.

What I found was alarming. We were in the middle of nowhere on the Isle of Lewis and the components in question in this brand new kit were of the wrong dimensions and wouldn't fit in place. The only part that would fit was the main gasket and I used just that and a couple of split pins out of the kit. We were extremely lucky in that the components I had intended to replace were not completely unserviceable as it turned out; and with a little flexible gasket compound, I was able to fix the carburettor and we were able to continue with our holiday.

On our return to England, I returned the kit to Scotts via Ebay and asked for a full refund - quite justifiably, I felt. Scotts response was that I must have ordered the wrong carburettor kit as, in their words "the kit was perfectly good for the application and that I shouldn't blame them or the kit". They refunded less than half of the cost of the kit, but again, fortunately, I was able to recover most of my outlay via Ebay resolution.

Scotts claim to have sold over 150 of these kits with no complaint. I put it to them that they have never actually tried themselves to fit one of these rebuild kits to the carburettor for which they are specified to see for themselves that they do not fit. They also claimed that they buy the kit from a reputable manufacturer of Land Rover components.

I have asked Scotts to supply details of this supplier so that I can discuss the incompatibility of the components with them. I am still waiting for a response from Scotts in this respect. So far they have ignored a number of messages regarding the matter. One only has to look at their responses on Ebay to neutral or negative feedback they have received to see what sort of a company you are dealing with!

So, this has been my first; and it will definitely be my last experience purchasing classic car components via this trader. Sadly, it goes to show the pitfalls of buying online from supposedly trustworthy sellers - particularly where critical parts for classic vehicles are concerned...be warned!
