One of their tech guys is funny. According to him no CVH RS Turbo can get more than 220bhp and anybody claiming more is showing an altered graph. Cock

I've never had any problem with their service but i dont tend to use them now because you can get bits cheaper from elsewhere.

Burton are over priced and theres to many people down there that just aint very helpful. I dont rate them and i try to go elsewhere for my bits. To be fair to them though they must get alot of timewasters and messers. Hope your mounts turn up soon mate!!

bunch of losers.

Was waiting for ages for some brake lines then I phoned them up and told them to hurry up or cancel the order and they came a couple of days later.....coincidence...!?

Avoid at all costs now.

well, after they guy at burton finally replied on my email.
did try to call them a couple off times but no idea what happened but just it did not get connected.

well, he first told me that i did not reply on the shipping issue.
(asked about normal airmail instead off paying 38£ in shipping with tracking)
deleted the log where i confirm that i wanted the airmail and the email he replied and said it was going out with airmail

sent him the log about that, he haven't replied yet, but i just said cancel the order, because that pisses me off.

sooooo now i am back at no gearbox mounts and car has to be moved in 7 days, lol.

so who sells them? Vibra Technics mounts.


lol funny thing though.... ford norway wants 59£ each for original ones
