FAO Just Sean - Brakes you sold me

[ben306]

For sale are my tarox 4 pots.

They come ready to bolt on and include pagid groved disks (gti6 disks iirc) and pagid pads with good life.

I paid 400 for these and never got round to fitting them...

I have badly painted them yellow but I will be stripping them back down to their original black before I sell them

I'm looking for £400 ovno

Hi Sean.

I got the brakes today and have just got them out to have a nosey at them.

I'll be honest, they are nothing like you said. You said that the discs and pads in good life, yet both need replacing as the pads don't have much meat left and are falling to bits and the discs are warn down and badly rusted. I throw away much better condition brakes. I've put some photos below.

That's not my main concern, I notice that theres no threads on one of the bleed nipples/nipple insert into the caliper, which basically means one caliper is scrap unless you can get another half caliper from somewhere. Also there is paint runs into the piston seals, again meaning the calipers need stripping down to resolve.

Basically this set up you've sold me is only good for the bin. I've put photos below for you but basically I'd be after a full refund of £273 as I feel I've been sold nothing more than scrap. Unless we can get hold of another caliper half or caliper to replace the threaded one, in which case we might be able to sort something to salvage something.

If you could come back to me as I don't really want to start the whole ebay/paypal claims thing if we can sort it out ourselves.

Extremely badly painted - worse that initially shown in you for sale thread photos.



Fair from "good life" pads



Paint into seals so pistons/seals will need to be removed/cleaned/replaces


No threads within caliper for bleed nipple and threads missing from bleed nipple. Effectlively a scrap caliper. The nipple wasing in straight when I unpacked it so knew it wasn't right straight away.




Discs are worn and rusted, again scrap

Have you tried contacting him rather than going "straight to the papers", as it were? Not really a very adult way to go about things is it.
