anyone had any problems getting parts from dp motorsport?

 

[Rishi]

Not heard of any issues receiving parts from them.. Have evidence of poor workmanship though..

What seems to be the issue and why not just call them?

 

[nismo-400R]

i ordered a manifold from them and its bin like a month and still havnt got it everytime you ring them they like its gonna be next week and so on 2weeks have turned into a month

 

[GTIR-LOZ]

welcome to dp's attitude i was promised 2 weeks then it took about 7 in total then it didnt fit and took another month and trading standards to get it sorted dave even put the phone down on me!!

 

[nismo-400R]

its like there not bothered though but they were quick enough to take the money for it,what was the quality of the manifold like when you got it back?

 

[GTIR-LOZ]

to be fair after the ordeal the manifold was spot on but it seemed that if i left it then nothing would have ever been done about it just tell them you want your money back and use protech in the states or something bet it will arrive alot quicker then

They were given the job of rebuilding my engine with a Farndon 2.2ltr stroker kit
1.The block wasn't bored correctly to accept my liners and the space was filled with Hylomar or some such.
2.The cut out for the oil squirters was not machined into the piston skirt.
3.The crank thrust washers were either put in with not enough clearance or back to front and were spat out the 1st time the crank turned allowing the crank to float in it's main bearings.Just about wrote off the block :evil:

Sure there was something else but Rishi or Blooby will be along soon to remind me of my senility i'm sure ;-)

Another story altogether :lol: In fact the Sherrif's Officers are paying him a visit now with a very large Decree in my favour

 

[nismo-400R]

if i dont get my manifold this week,going to ask for money back,did they sort the engine out for you?

 

[davey red.r]

i know a lad that had one with the bracing, it cracked after 3 laps at brough,sent it back then did the same again after next meeting.
mind you he was running 570 bhp

No,it's a long and horribly sad story :doh:

 

[Rishi]

You forgot the fact that the bores were machined squint!! :O

Oil lines were blocked off!

Can't remember what else was up with it...

Got that when i said the liners were put in with Hylomar ;-)

Oil lines were ok,it was the coolant that wasn't connected

And it was "mapped" so rich that i got 9mpg on a steady run back to Dundee when i normally got 20-25 :shock:

And it ran as rough as a badger's ar$e :evil:
