I bought a genuine Valeo ( OEM manufacturer ) clutch kit from that vendor for my XR8 Sprint about 18 months ago.The kit was faulty and I had to spend a further $400 odd dollars at a local clutch rebuild shop to have the clutch pressure plate set up properly so I could actually change gears :shock: .Didn't like the sellers attitude when I complained about the faulty clutch that he sold me.I won't buy from him again.

That's my experience.

From my experience with Ebay & the likes is generally once they have your money they don't give a 'rats arse' & you have no idea of quality untill it arrives on your door, at least buying local you have some recourse.

Word of mouth is by far the strongest advertising tool.
