    Spareto - anyone orderd from them recently? All good?

    Just about to order a slug of parts for my s2 and wondered if anyone has ordered from spareto recently? I haven't and just wanted to check no forum horrors

        They actually delivered?? I've tried ordering several times and have never yet found them able to supply. Order placed and refunded a short while later!

            That's ironic, I've never had any problems with autodoc. They even phoned me once to check that I was sure I wanted what I had ordered! That part turned up no problem as well.

            I'm always drawn to spareto as they offer tip top parts, I guess there is only one way to find out...

                Here is my list from memory
                They sent a lhd heater matrix and wouldn't pay return postage.
                They sent the wrong slave cylinder and I had to pay return postage.
                They sent a Skf wheelbearing and the pack had been opened and the bearing wasn't marked skf!
                They sent the incorrect CV boots and wouldn't pay return postage.
                They sent topran when I ordered Meyle
                They said they had Koni shocks in stock and took my money. They then said I could have Stark instead as the Koni were out of stock. Took 10 days to return my money.
                Spent hours arguing with them on line about returns and they are always very reluctant to pay for any return postage. Hence I have boxes full of the wrong parts gathering dust in the garage!
                Auto doc app deleted. Won't use them EVER again.
                Anyone want a lhd matrix?

                  Dave, that truly is a horrific list of mess ups but there is one way of rectifying it... Buy a left hand drive car to fit your heater matrix and cv boots to you will need something to do after you've finished your ur ​​​​​

                    yep, see, thats the sort of ***** I want to avoid, what a nightmare. I think my well documented issues with Autodoc are on here for posterity too...

                        Just ordered Koni shocks for the Ur from Winpart in Netherlands. If they arrive they will be £20 per shock cheaper than any UK seller. Keep you posted.

                          I got a temp sensor. Maybe it was the only thing stocked!

                            Sounds about right. They are the worst company I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with.
                            I will also add that I had a counterfeit Reniz headgasket and counterfeit FAG wheel bearings from them. BEWARE
