Or get the rear "Less ride height" springs from Ford :wink:

They do supply them :D

Don't know how much the ride height is reduced & they are stiffer springs too.
I have a pair for my connect, just haven't got round to fitting them yet :oops:

you seem to want to air this on the forum.so maybe i should explain to the forum what you tried to do (AND FAILED),which will bring into question anything you say.

you didnt offer the chance to rectify anything SO STOP TELLING LIES.you also told paypal you send the item back and provided a tracking number for a refund SO MORE LIES!!!

MAYBE I SHOULD SEND ALL THE INFO OVER TO THE POLICE MARK. AS WHAT YOU TRIED TO DO IS FRAUD

there seem to be a pattern,your scam failed so you wrote on here.you was kick off a facebook page so you wrote on here grow up mark

i offered you a chance and you chose to ignore all contact
i made a genuine error on paypal
i have not tried to return the axle as it is now with a second party (not the police)
I DO NOT LIE
if you wand to talk about froud how about the fake staff on your website ?
the fact still remains you know what you sold me and this is the first contact you have made

Hi, Connect looks great in violet/aubergine. Just a quick question, I've got a black TC and hate the grey/black arch covers. What preparation is needed to paint them in body colour? They are obviously not smooth, but would need some build to get a smooth finish for top coat.

More lies mark,you did not once contact us we are not mind readers.

You made a mistake all you had to do is book the courier and fill in the tracking number on paypal.
You filled in a FAKE number.paypal gave you a number of chances to correct
And provide proof of postage and postage label
YOU NEVER DID.because you hadnt book a courier to send it back so NO TRACKING NUMBER PROOF OF POSTAGE NOR POSTSGE LABEL

You are saying 2 different things you have a story for here and another for paypal.

YOU TRIED YOU KEEP THE ITEMS BY PROVIDING A FAKE TRACKING NUMBER TO OBTAIN YOUR REFUND.
THATS FRAUD WHICH IS A CRIME

Thanks, I wasn't sure if you had to use primer surfacer (the orange stuff) to get over the surface undulations. Oh well, a job for the Autumn I think!
Cheers

listen we can call each other all day long and not get anywhere, the fact is you sold me an axle thats dangerous and not fit for purpose,i had emailed many times and got no response.
we both know who people on here will believe and i dont care all i want is the axle replaced with a one that has been done correctly,
if this is what it has took to get a response then so be it.
so are you going to replace the axle or not ?
