Thanks for the input from QOC members. I looked at their uk website, and the master cylinder was listed as in stock. I thought I'd be sure, so I telephoned them and they said it was out of stock, but probably in stock in Belgium - If I placed an order on uk website they would get it from Belgium and if it wasn't in stock they would refund me! I was a bit perplexed by this, but thought I'd ask if they could check if Belgium had it in stock, the result was they couldn't confirm but reiterated the refund policy. As it was over £300 through a local factor, I thought I'd give it one more chance (as, to be fair on the previous 2 occasions they had refunded immediately). It turned up this morning. Cost £80, so well worth the effort involved.

I've not used the CIA eBay, bit I have gone direct a few times and not had issues. They were one of the few places still selling the MK2 Fiesta heater matrix when I needed one. It may be they think they have stock but when they go to pick the item its not there?

I noticed recently they were listing the later XR2 master cylinder (the small length one) for '87 model. Having ordered one from them in Jan 2014, and had it cancelled due to them having no stock, I sent a message and was assured they had them so I ordered one (albeit several days later), the order was confirmed 2 days later, and lo-and-behold after a further 5 days, they have cancelled and issued a refund (confirmed by Paypal). Is this some sort of weird scam (although I can't see how?), maybe it helps their cash flow for a couple of weeks? They have 'awarded' me a 5% discount on my next order - maybe that's the game, just to list a rare part to try to sell other parts? Anyway, I've now sent them a list of questions, and will see how they respond. Martin -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Quantum Owners Group" group.
