Superb, efficient and professional

Superb, efficient and professional outfit. My second time restoring a stationary engine. The first being essentially a marine engine (Kelvin) but this is my first time working on a Lister. A very well laid out website which I found easy to navigate. An excellent selection of spares and a first class service for delivery, packing, etc. Can't fault them. I'll be back for more parts as required and comfortable in the knowledge I will recieve top rate service. Thankyou.

First Class Service and Invaluable Advice Come as Standard

Stationary Engine Parts are one of the most helpful and knowledgeable firms that I have encountered in the world of older/collectable engines. I have relied heavily upon their help and guidance whilst undertaking three restoration projects. Advice is provided by one of the directors of the company, who is prepared to spend a great deal of time and energy in helping customers to identify the parts needed. The website is a wonderful reference work, and gives illustrated guides to many of the engines for which parts are supplied, as well as clear photographs of the parts for sale to aid identification. Goods are dispatched promptly, and slow or late arrival will not be the fault of this supplier. Buy with confidence, as in the event of any difficulty or query, you will be dealt with both fairly and promptly.

Thank you Mark, your review is very much appreciated. I am so pleased to see that you were happy with the work we did on your fuel injectors and that the boat is running again.

Unreliable supplier and poor communicator.

I ordered transfers which didn't arrive. When I questioned this, they gave me incorrect information about the carrier. The goods did arrive - ONE MONTH later. I advised them of this but they blocked me from purchasing in the future. A very amateurish and somewhat spiteful supplier to be avoided. Poor and inaccurate communicator.

Reply from Stationary Engine Parts

Hello Ken, I am so sorry to see that you felt it necessary to leave a negative review as having reviewed the exchanges between us I can see that we did our best to help you. You opened a case on eBay for an "item not received" in June and requested a replacement. We explained that the eBay system has no mechanism for sending a replacement and promptly refunded you in full in accordance with eBay policies to allow you to re-order but you did not do so...From your review it would appear that the item was subsequently delivered (I have no record of you letting us know the item arrived) so you have now both the item and your money back! This is a clear case of us both being let down by Royal Mail which is unfortunate and out of our control. I do resent your comments regarding us being spiteful and a poor communicator as you were fully kept in the loop, the eBay system ensures this, furthermore your review seems more spiteful than anything we could possibly have said. What a disappointing outcome....

be careful about paint shades from PARAGON PAINTS

Their Paragon paint range has some massive issues where the colour is a million miles off what it should be! But otherwise is very good, but their spray paint is far too thin in my opinion

Their Stuart turner green is completely wrong, and they try and insist to their customers that is the correct shade. Stuart Green is a mid bronze green, the colour they supply is Light Brunswick green. The ONLY stuart engines that had this colour were rebuilt marine engines, and even then it was a much darker shade .

However both their shades of Salmon Pink are spot on, depending what manufacturer of threshing machine you have,

When I put a complaint in, I was told I was was incorrect, even know I have some lengthy experience in these issues, and then the company cancelled another order I had for a customer with out warning or reason.

Their paint had a nice gloss finish and was quick drying, just a shame it was the wrong colour.

SOME of their brass fittings are not that great and similar to those found on eBay from China and India, and can be found on ebay for a much lower price direct from them if you want cheep fittings, but their premium fittings are very nice, but carry a premium price. I suspect their Lister Domestic Pump parts and Lister CS diesel parts, are very poorly made Indian copies, and you would be well advised to keep a eye out for genuine parts. There is lots of people dealing in stationary engine parts on eBay.

The smaller flat belt pulleys are poorly machined, in the fact they are concave not convex and need remaching before being of use which shows up the poor quality cast iron.

Most of the stationary colour ranges are available in their true correct shade from a Craftmaster. Most of the brass fittings are available for a cheaper price off ebay.

Stationary Engine Parts are handy for drive belting and magneto spares, but they do not tolerate complaints or critical comments. Perhaps they forgot the fundamental teachings of sales, the customer is always right?
