a quick look on the website gives a landline and fax number and an address so its less likely theyre dodgy.

thats mike pattison who owns ears and the escort cos with the reg ear5

been around for donkeys years and if you go on the mlr his lad dave seems to run the show now as they do loads of evo rally bits,the web site does look old tbh and needs a kick up the jacksy,years ago they had 2 page ads in fast ford and the motoring news and others,also had places in ireland too as they rallied there.
i knew someone who worked for them and there was no funny buisness.

you are safe with EARS, i would put money on it just being a genuine mistake.
they're based in macclesfield, not far from me, infact ive even got a set of their own harnesses (rebadged LMS) in the mini,



Top blokes, just give them a ring
