Quick run down hit a small animal start of January in my frs. Not much damage small crack on bumper bent charge cooler.
Bought a charge cooler for £40 off ebay on the 8th January. Didn't arrive till end of January due to bad weather down south. Fair enough I thought can't help the weather opened it up quick look it looked fine.
Went to give it a quick lick of paint before I fitted it and in the sunlight i noticed it had been broken and glued back together on one of the fixing lugs. Looked a bit shit but thought I would fit it and it leaked so I messaged the seller and told them and they said was ok when on the car etc which may be true as it doesn't look like a new repair. Tried to send over pics but they said they never received them.
Now not heard anything since Saturday had to buy another charge cooler but looks like I'm down £40.
Never fitted it sooner due to waiting for my bumper to go in and get painted.

take it its past the 45 days reclaim with paypal?
tbh mate if i sold a CC rad and buyer came back 7 weeks later looking for refund id tell them to do one aswell as could easily have been fitted and damage done themselves. lesson learnt check item all over as soon as it arrives.
also get on the rsoc focus section,always cc rads come up when people go A2A and your buying off a member.

I know mate I would be the same to be honest but it isn't that noticeable until your out side looking at it really close. And to do the damage that's been done its clearly not been done in fitting it

Might be able to make two out of the one and keep it as a spare
Bought an exhaust off of the same person so when it arrives I will make sure all is good and then leave bad feed back for them.
