Responsibility in choosing parts for your vehicle
Because many changes may have taken place since these older vehicles were manufactured, we cannot choose parts for our customer’s vehicles. We simply provide the fullest information on all our products as supplied to us by our supplier on our website. Without accepting any liability we will always try to help and point our customers in the right direction. It is the owner’s responsibility to order the correct part by part number for his vehicle; he/she has the vehicle and data to hand.
Should any part be supplied incorrectly for any reason whatsoever, we will always do our utmost to resolve any issues arising without accepting any liability for any consequences.
Based on the above it should be understood that we cannot and will not, in general, choose parts for our customers. Accepting this is the case and if requested by our customer to choose or assist in choosing parts regardless, we will do our best without accepting any liability legal or otherwise in the matter.
Claims of alleged faulty parts
Claims on alleged faulty parts ( which have been installed ) are strictly limited to that part supplied by us and proven to be faulty. No claim for alleged subsequent damage will be entertained. Only professionally installed components will be considered for a claim. The claim if agreed is strictly limited to the replacement of the faulty item. Shipping and other costs cannot be entertained.
