Mather, you should have checked the part over on delivery n not left it for that long - there's now no way to guarantee the cracks were there on delivery or not. I see "no cracks or play" in every second hand turbo ad. The cracks seem pretty hard to spot from the photos, and if they are in places that don't affect the performance of the turbo there isn't really a problem in my eyes.
If you're buyin a part from a scrappie you can't expect something to 1) work or 2) be as new.
Clarkster, your case is pretty borderline, but same applies really - no way to prove you haven't fitted it, ran it and damaged it or swapped it for a binding one ;)
Antoni, "uncut" would suggest the loom was in one bit and not 2, which it seems like it was, but on only just about! Anyway, have you posted it to me yet or what! :p
GT Jamie, Leaky rad - man's not gonna pressure test a second hand rad is he!
It may have been better for Puntospares' rep if he had offered a partial discount, refund or exchange to you guys as well but the time taken to report a problem was a bit too long, so i can see where he's coming from...
Gotten a lil outta hand, but tbf don't think he got much business off this site anyway, theres only like 10 active people on here :lol:
Moral of the story, "check yo sh1t!" - KFC drive thru? Check yo sh1t! Droppin the kids off? etc etcc baahahaha :lol:
