I think Synetiq should honour the original purchase in that they should supply the parts that would have been included in the other tailgate.

That was very naughty or sneaky of the tailgate supplier to "supply a different one because the more complete one got damaged" but was partly stripped! I reckon you should have at least been contacted first and been given the chance to look elsewhere.

Hi chris and rob that boot lid you ordered is the usual stint of some these recycling centres pull by showing you a complete and then give you a totally different one... with some excuse in your case it was damaged so why did they not get in touch and show you (maybe chris could have repaired it after seeing it).... why did they not take the lights off the damaged one and send separately... reason they did not have that one there in stock in first place....i would definitely ask for a rebate as you were supplied not as described.....onwards and upwards boys looking forward to the next episode of this motor as per usual ....can i say please dont have the camera so far away from shot as you cant see the nitty gritty of the parts your describing 👍

I would dispute the fact that you bought a tailgate with lights etc and they sent you a second one without at the same price, they say the other tailgate got damaged, no problem, but they could of taken the lights out of it and sent them along with this other tailgate. why should you have to search again and then pay further amounts for another set of lights.

Surely guys, if the ebay advert for the boot lid included rear lights etc, they have contravened the ad and, should replace what didn't arrive or, return some money.

I admire your patience and lack of negativity, because I’d have prattled on about that boot way more than you did and that’d been wrong, you just apprised us of the facts and your experience. After thinking about it for a while I understand why, it’s because there’s a good chance you may have to deal with them again, and best not to burn bridges. Your attitude is spot on, you let it go and moved on, because otherwise it’d have impact on the content of this video and I know you guys are all about spreading positivity. Good on ya

@Alexander_l322 Жыл бұрын

They shouldn’t get away with sending you that when you clearly bought one with the lights in it. I’d tell them to stick it up their you know what if they told me it’s an extra £50 for the lights which you were supposed to get in the first place. Anyways it’s a lovely car

Guess that explains their 96.5% feedback then. Hope you get that light you ordered Rob as that's a bit cheeky of them to send an alternative that's not as good as what was pictured. Looking at their feedback history is a shocking read of poor customer service. Anyway, look forward to seeing you boys getting this back on the road.

That you get many of your vehicles directly from the owners saves a lot of hassle and auction fees, more profit for you. You 2 seem to have a knack to pick cars you can fix and make out good in the end. By the time you get done, it will be a excellent care for the future owner.
