Incorrect Wheel Carrier supplied is it worth sending back?
Ordered a wheel carrier about a week ago, went to fit it this weekend and noticed it doesn't match what the website said.

I ordered: http://www.splandrovers.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=SP132

Choose it because it had the grease nipples and steel piston. Anyway the one that has been delivered is a Britpart one with plastic bushes in the hinges, no grease nipples and a plastic plunger. Is it worth sending back or just stick it on? It's about £20 less from paddocks though....


Cheers
Stu

If its not what you wanted / ordered then I would ring and ask to send it back at their cost and either a refund or the one you wanted.
The one shown looks a decent setup. 1999 Defender TD5 110

Sorry probably badly worded reading it back, was meant to be more along the lines of are the britpart ones ok, do they rattle badly etc? Saves the hassle of waiting in for a courier to collect it etc. Will call them anyway, just what to be asking for.

i believe the law states the retailer must pick up the costs under the distance selling act

have a look here : http://www.splandrovers.com/returns.asp

You will be entitled to your choice of an exchange for the correct item or a full refund. If you have been mischarged, we will correct the discrepancy. SP Landrovers LTD will meet the cost of returns postage for defective goods. We can arrange for a courier pickup of the goods or we can refund your postage expenses (within reasonable limits) upon return delivery.

Thanks for the advice, have arranged a return and a refund. So now looking again for a different carrier, will probably go for Mantec they seem to be the most rated?
