I was looking at spending around £400 with Peter Lloyd - I wont be now.

 

I hope they read this.

I sympathise entirely Johnny. I had a similarly unpleasant experience buying an Ashley system form Edworthys.

 

Make a brew, get comfy, and read all about it here

Given how quickly you've resolved your situation, I'll be going to Trading Standards next time.

how come in your orginal email you mention RS2000 type 49,givin them 2 much info is dangious and makes then

sould of just said mk1 mexico

intresting readin tho as i will need a new exhuast over the winter for my mexico

[johnny_h]

She mentioned RS2000, when I called the first time to tell them the thing was not right. She said they do a crossflow exhaust or an RS2000 exhaust. I just said that the body shell of a mexico was the same as an RS2000 therefore the hangars would be the same. I know what I said and I know what I asked for. Before I even ordered the thing I called and specifically asked about hangar type and position and she said they sell 20 a week and have never had any problems.

fooks sake, I think Peter just lost about 30 possible customers thanks to this thread.

 

I might wack a link on Turbosport now to let them all know about this fiasco also.

[flyingbanana]

thats another company on my avoid list .....

[Burns]

so the real reason you got a non RS2000 exhaust is because they're out of stock? bunch of numpties

[johnny_h]

I have just spoken to trading standards about PL's reply and they told me because he has offered a full refund he is no longer in breach of contract and there is nothing I can do so I called PL and told him I would send the old back box back out of my own pocket and he said no problem I will get an RS box out to you today as soon as I recieve yours back. I need an exhaust and have lost my battle lol! Bastard!

[Messenjah]

[Rick]

is there no where else you could have got it ?

 

theres no way id be giving him the satisfaction of that ,

 

if there was no one else selling one i would have got my mate to buy it later .

 

 

still though , hes lost a bit of custom im sure for the sake of some postage money .

[johnny_h]

I think I had better wait until I have the right back box in my hands! The problem is we are not spoiled for choice when it comes to off the shelf exhausts. The same as rubber trim. Because we have little choice we have to put up with substandsard goods and service.

[SmokeEm]

Well they'll get no more of my business. I will use Rally Design from now on - slightly dearer but at least you get the right parts AND customer service.

[RETRO_AL]

I have used peter loyyd a few times and had no probs with them,i even get free postage

I'm happy for you.

[jimbo]

I don't know if these guys can offer what you are after, but when I was scoping round for a new exhaust, I was set on going for these guys. Only my budget prevented me.

My local dealer in Aylesbury (TopGear) was able to offer a cheaper, fitted, mild steel alternative, but at the last minute, JamesP offered up a std exhaust to keep me going.

 

I'm saving for a stainless system, for when the next one goes.

[johnny_h]

 

WTF is that!!!?????

[Slik 50]

is that 2 exhausts on the front of the car.

 

Ist it a Ka?

Is it an astra?

WTF how on earth can you look at that add then think "Yep, powerflow are the on for me "

 

Honestly that car thing is the uglyest piece of garbage I have ever seen

[capri07]

that car is a citroen c2, way too much time and effort,still looks kinda funky

[johnny_h]

that car is a citroen c2, way too much wasted time and effort,still looks kinda funky

i saw it at the autosport show, it won max power car of the year, and the seat is centrally mounted surrounded by subs

[Jay_harrier]

 

WTF is that!!!?????

 

I didn't see the car....

 

Its no comfort but PL pissed me off back in the 90's - they so deserve to go out of business.

 

Why not write to a couple of mags to name and shame them?
