LMF fark up?

[SIMid]

Dammit. :mad:

Finally got the clutch kit and even spoke to them to confirm the part with my VIN number before they sent it out and it's the wrong one.

So now I have to pay someone else to rip apart the wrong clutch and use my old clutch to rebuild another heavy duty clutch, farken pissed off. :mad: An expensive exercise.

Heaps of people swear their the best, well, major incompetence is what I see.

The bill is going to be huge. :(

Compensation... Paying for return freight...

Sorry to hear about that, sux when you wait so long and it's the wrong part!

BTW did you go through Dan on here? Everything I've ordered from LMF goes through him.. confirms he receives the right parts and has been 100% accurate so far.

Sucks ass when you have to deal with returns/wrong item from overseas happened with my G/Fs big end bearings got given the wrong ones from auto vaux lucky it was only $40 so i didnt bother but im sure aside from having to wait it will get sorted ;)

[SIMid]

Paying for return freight...

The prob I have is that the Astra is in bits and the installer does not have time to wait for the clutch to be mailed back and another one sent. So he can only suggest to butcher both clutches to make a new one.

Originally I wanted to get this heavy duty clutch from Netherlands, but they said they had a compatible one. When they sent it to my uncle in London, he said it wasnt the same one you had originally wanted (2 parts instead of 3). So I rang them to make sure and confirmed with my VIN number and said it was the perfect part. Cant remember the guys name, but my Uncle said he spoke to Sam?

I wrote to my uncle to get in touch with them and see what had happened. But yeah, not impressed. And when I get the bill, I will need to hide it from the misses cause she's gonna flip. :(

U dont understand, I have been trying to get a clutch for over 6 months and when I thought I did, it was a bloody wrong part. :mad: Was frustrated in not locating one and was over joyed in "thinking" I had one. Now it's like back to square one.

This is what they sent me, from my uncle's email.

641723080 Clutch Kit Sachs (2 pc) Astra H 2.0 Turbo - £99.68
645720010 Slave cylinder - £85.05

So WTF happened, I have no idea.

Here's the listing for the Sachs clutch.

They were on the invoice my Uncle received. I've just been looking on the web too and found nothing as well.

The guy here told me the spline (I think that's what he said) does not match the shaft.

*sigh*

+ 1 yes indeed...

At least in his case he got something, albeit the wrong something for his money...

Could've been worse and not recieved anything at all and lost money for nothing, as has happened to some others of us here, that's the worst case scenario...

I think if you do it often enough, your bound to have at least one sour incident, unfortunately...

Hope all works out well in this case :)

that is insanely cheap. try finding a clutch for a calibra at even double that...

Not cheap enough for a useless item. :(

[SIMid]

Spoke to the guys who are working on my clutch, they think it might be a Heavy Duty Clutch for the TS Turbos. Someone may have placed into the box the wrong kit.

So if they don't need to butcher it, this may be useful for someone here who needs an upgrade. :idea:

Hope to find out and get a confirmation.

Thanks Dan, I think my uncle rang you guys up just before and said that I will be in touch. I rang and realised it's like 11:30pm so I sent you an email. May try to ring U guys when I get home after work.

Hope you get the email! :) *LOL*

He did indeed, I told him I was aware of this. I've had nothing come through in my email yet but it maybe in my bosses email, so will check with him when hes in shortly and we will go from there :)

Just to confirm for Dan,

The AH Astra 2litre turbos have;

M32 (6 speed) gearbox?

LET (TS) /LEL (AH) /LER (VXR)?? (I always get these mixed up) One is for the TS, one is for the AH and the other for the VXR ..... :confused:

The LEL and LER are basically the same externally?

I do know the VXR flywheel is different for the AH SRiTs. So you cant put a aftermarket heavy duty VXR clutch into a SRiT (unless U get the flywheel to match).

Thats pretty much what I found out after doing a lot of searching etc yesterday. I know a lot of people over here put the 1.9 CDTI clutch and flywheels into the LEL/LER's.

The LEH is the VXR engine :) the LER and LEL both have the same clutches and flywheel its just the VXR thats different.

I'm hoping to have more answers later on today for you.
