burnt by ebay

[Big dog]

seriously i wont send any of my tools to the local stihl or husky dealers. I DONT TRUST THEM! (probably less so than sellers on ebay)

 

They tried to get me to scrap an 020T i was doing up as it was knackered, needed about £200 spending on it apparently, got the bits i needed for £45 (genuine stihl) and fixed it up, and i know for a fact its still going strong

 

How long did it take you to fix that 020t?

[Charlieh]

about 1.5-2hrs work and 7days waiting for parts as the order got mislaid!

 

stripped it down cylinder hone new piston and rings checked everything else over back together fired on about the 3rd pull and was spot on,

:thumbup:you tuned up my 372 up on the tacho nice mate! getting better every time i use it now its loosening up a bit.

good to hear it was not to bad on your clearing saw.

Our local dealer kept writing off our saws. We were having a right mission finding someone we could trust. I asked the good people of Arbtalk and got a number for some competent mechanics. I sent them two dead MS200's which my dealer had written off hoping they'd make one but they got them both running!

Charlieh, If you think it worth keeping i would see if he can pay for the parts or get postage back. If not open a dispute With ebay. If you payed through pay pal arn't you insured up to £500.

As a dealer people like this put us to shame, We always repair rather then sell, theres more money in the repair than selling a new machine for us.

Charlieh if you need any spares I've probley got them in stock and can get them to next day.

Good luck
