It's cheap stuff so its not going to last forever. Had a couple of propshaft bearings off them over the years. One of which only lasted a couple of months but they didn't want to know,said it probably wasn't fitted right ,blah blah.

I have used them quite a few times over the last few years. The stuff is cheap ( you prob get what you pay for) and it was all ok, but yeah they have a bit of an attitude.

Not had any issues. I have bought switches, sensors, bearings etc.
Cheap but that's our choice to buy.

I can confirm there parts are shite

I have a 2004 tdci mondy with the usual pully rattle, bought a new one in november last year, just got round to getting it done today at mates garage, part looked great........... started car and fuckin hell it was 100 times worse than the original one which now sounds fuckin mint compared lol, the pully was rattling and vibrating that bad it couldnt be left on as it was seriously throwing the belt about and it would just burst the belt so had to go through same process again, removing the engine mount and letting the engine drop down to access the bastard thing in the wheel arch...... lesson learnt dont buy just because its a third of the price.

Actually looking more into it other pattern parts from companys aint that much cheaper than a gen ford one so fuck it, ill hang off and buy the ford kit that supplies the tensioner and belt aswell as pully, it might be exspensive but its getting to the stage you just cant trust other companys, there is other suppliers on ebay selling full kits on ebay and they only state its a gates belt or similar brand we all know and trust......... shame they dont tell you what make the pullys or tensioners is like skf etc, they dont say cos its cheap pish.

Even my mate said fuckin hell it could have at least last 2 months before it done that being cheap, you dont expect it to do it straight away and sound fuckin awfull.

Angry Can anyone help?

Hi All.

Recent bought an engine from this company and having major problems. Cost me Ł4k!!!!!!!

Ive had the same, "Rob in the warehouse" "Rob out of the office", Ive even had "Rob in China". Rob certainly is never at Transit Parts.

I intend to take it further and wondered whether any one can help in sharing their problems with them? if so, drop us a quick reply.

This company needs stopping. There are endless people having problems with them.

Thanks in advance to all those that will reply
