Whatever mate, just stating my experience and since when have you had to specialise in a zetec engine to work on one. As said it's in the past and is just one experience. There is always a disgruntled customer and my father just so happened to be one of them.

I'm going to stick a spanner in the works here and say, just because they are good at sending out parts doesnt mean they are a good tuner. I've had good service from them, but wouldn't let them work on my car.

yes woodfords is generally a good company, they are only a 10min drive for me so have always just gone in , but like any company they have had there moments, i needed a high pressure oil pump for my FRST but what they ordered was the early type and they didnt know this till i told them it was wrong and then in the end they couldnt get a H.P one or even a normal one so had to use MATT LEWIS. Ive never used there tuning side as ive done verything myself

But they do have / did have some nice genuine ford parts on there ebay site.

But they did do me a good price on a AP paddle clutch and helped me out when i had an injector problem that i didnt even buy of them



Overall mate you really can not go wrong
