Someone's not happy with their turbo supplier...
Discussion
I know Graeme (the ebay seller). He used to rally a carbon fibre-clothed Westfield in Barbados with some success. Very interesting. He's no bulls
tter and his email trail in the auction seems very damning for the original turbo seller. I hope it does Graeme some good - he's a genuine petrolhead.

oh well, hope he gets back on the road soon...

How can a company sell you a product then tell you that everything they told you that led to you buying the product was bullst? I might try that, hey buy this discombobulator it'll give your car 5 million horsepower and will cost a billion pounds, then when someone buys it and it doesn't work i'll just say, our tech people are full of st bad luck!

that’s down right st business skills on the part of the turbo supplier!
with the evidence emails could he not go to someone like Trading Standards, or the US equivalent and try and get his money back via those channels?
Tho I suppose the guy who called him would deny everything he’s said and try and put blame on the ebayer
Hope he gets something out of it, and spreads the word about the poor service he’s received

Agreed - I've had some dealings with Fluke and they're not amateurs. It's unlikely he's making this up.tter and his email trail in the auction seems very damning for the original turbo seller. I hope it does Graeme some good - he's a genuine petrolhead.Never met Graeme, but I've purchased from Fluke and he used to be a regular poster on the Bike Engined Cars forum. From my dealing with him, he's a decent chap who knows his stuff, not the sort of person to lightly libel*. I have no reason to disbelieve anything he says...
- Libel is only libel if you're writing lies.
