As you know I have a leaky radiator! So I bought one second hand from eBay of a company French connection spares.
Got the radiator delivered really quick which is as impressed.
Left my dad to fit it today to find out the radiator has a crack in the bottom which leaks!
Didn't really have the money for a rad till after Xmas but being good to my 306 I bought it. Now I've got to go with my old leaky radiator.
But Becuase of eBay rules I have to pay for the cost of postage to send it back then wait for them to send my money back! In the mean time I have to find £40 for a new rad 2 weeks before Xmas!!!!!

Unless they state you have to pay for postage in the sellers return policy, they have to pay for it! Happened to me quite a few times now and after telling them that, they always send pre-paid postage

ive had bad dealings with french connection spares off ebay and they never sorted it just swapped one ded engine for another equally ded engine.
And just to top it off ebay wouldn't get them to refund my money because they had another engine to swap it out with, which as you've guessed was ded
And on another note french connection spares state in their returns section that any returns you have to pay for postage to and from their place in bacup
