Yeah! I bought a fuel pressure gauge for my V8 fuel regulator from Peter Lloyd. Got home and it didn't work, went back and explained and he said "it's new it must work". After 5 mins arguing the toss, he reluctantly gave me another one which he slung across the counter and ended up on the floor. Told him if he's got that attitude I'll have my money back and get one from elsewhere. After some more raised voices he gave me my money back, which again he slung on the counter and on my way out he gave me a very good bit of advice....He shouted... "and don't bother coming back".
Got it from Merlin Motorsport in the end, plus a lot more stuff. Very helpfull at Merlin.

Purely for the exercise of sitting in some bucket seats though, PLR would do the job (assuming they have some in store).

From my own experience, Sparco Evo2 (the wideboy versions) were very very comfortable, but the ones in my 205, Cobra Imola's began to cause leg pain in journeys over 90 mins. I used one of the more affordable Recaro buckets on my eurotrip last year and they were very comfortable also.

Cheers guys.

I'll drop in to PLR as its a bit closer and doesn't involve the 7 bridge tax!

Peter Lloyd treats his customers incredibly badly. My last dealing involved trading standards and defective safety equipment.

never again.Although I laffed my cock off when I learnt his business was robbed.

what goes a round .......

Have also been less than impressed with Peter Lloyd.

Can I suggest the excellent http://www.nickygrist.com if you want Corbeau ?
