Well I bought some new Followers the other day from IMM off there stall, get them home and opens to packet to find them covered in a protective goop thats gone off rock hard.

I tried all sorts to clean it off thinner blah blah, ended up having to heat them up on the hob and smear it off.

Any hoo I thought id give them a bell to see what the crack is. Basically the bloke on the phone didnt give a flying fuck, I asked if they could send me some more out but wouldnt until they had seen the dodgy ones and they only do returns on a Friday.......WTF.......

I told them I needed some by thursday at the latest but he said he couldnt do anything

I wont be using them again.

Keep hearing things about minisport that aren't putting them in a good light, shame really as it's quite a big company let down by crap customer service time and time again

I rang them a week ago and asked for a price to supply and install a SD 6 point fia cage

They wanted £1670! When I said thanks but I was going to look about first they started to Slag off the competitor saying I shouldn't go there, that was enough for me.

I age used them but only when I could pop In and pick something up there and then
Even then they have offered to sell me parts waiting to be shipped to a customer!

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

Burnt by them once-fuck em, won't use again on principle not even to buy a washer or grease nipple.

Give then to me Mike I will quite happily throw them over the counter back at them at the next big show and verbally remonstrate your displeasure, Fing rat bastards

I have found their customer care has deteriorated over years. And the quality of the majority of their gear is shite.
Not worth the hassle using them anymore

i bought a set of revolutions off them about 5 or 6 years ago for my clubman when I had just passed my test, which to me on part time wages was big bucks.

one turned up damaged on the rim, looked like it had been dropped face down, a phone call later and they said I had probably done it,

bunch of fuck tards wont get any of my money again

North of the Netherlands

Had brand new minisport heatertap on the engine of a mate before setting of to IMM.
The thing blew the meatal plate out after driving on highway for 50-ish kms.
(fixed it with ty-wraps which held till IMM)

Had a look at new taps at IMM, must say the ones at Minispares looked very very simular...
In the end drove back with the ty-wraped one...

Probably best use the old ones if they function ok.

Dazed and Confused....
