PP have a bad rep for a reason? Lots of dissatisfied customers..

I have to say I've dealt with Colin since I bought my car back in 2001 and have never ever had any issues at all. Always been a pleasure to deal with and helpful, I'd suggest there is definately two sides to every story.


Not in this case...

There's always two sides to every story? How can you say otherwise??

Colin:f**ks sake it didn't leave ere like that 😞 wots broken dude and axle???

Savo:Half shaft is missing, relay box is broken,coil & coil connector broken, coil cover broken, unit bolted to exhaust cam broken.

Savo:I'll get the list of exactly what I need this weekend. Please get it together for me ASAP 😊

July 20th
Savo: Hey can you fill this out for me please. On PDF or whatever file so I can print it out and mail it out.

Savo:I received this from claim department. Please provide me needed information and please understand that I have been waiting for this engine 7 months and that my patience is running thin with all parties. Thank you

August 6th:
Savo:How's that paper work coming along pimp?
August 11th
Savo again:Hey any news on papers and parts bud????
Colin:Chased earlier, got email back saying she will check on the hold up, did that an hour ago dude.

August 25th:
Savo:Colin any news buddy? I really need those parts 😊
It's coming up on one year 😞
Colin:Saw the boss man, expecting g call back, will check on parts eta dude.

August 27th:
Savo:Would you know if those parts left for US?
Colin:They have dude, they will come to your door this time!!

September 1st:
Savo: Haven't received any of the packages yet 😞
Would you have any updates for me?
Colin: (no response) after this I was on my own and in search for replacment parts.

December 1st is where I contacted him again he has been ignoring me and no messages came from Colin at all so this is what I wrote.
Savo:I've end up getting replacement parts by my self as you were unable to keep end of your deal. I have been fair and completed payment same hour you have requested so please be fair and return my PayPal request as this have dragged way too long.
Thanks in advance.

Following invoice is for replacment items that have been damaged during shipping,lost or missing. For further information please refer to list below.

1) Axle assembly (missing)
2) Vacuum pump (damaged)
3) Exhaust valve cover (damaged)
4) Exhaust camshaft carrier (damaged)
5) PCV (missing)
6) Purge vapor solenoid (missing)
7) Brake booster check valve (damaged)
😎 Wire harness pig tails (missing)
9) Ignition coil and plastic cover (damaged)
10) Throttle cable (missing)
11) Fuel pump relay (damaged)

Thank you.


I know I shouldn't have disclosed this information publicly however it's not my fault that Colin poorly handled he's job. I'm afraid it's he's fault for being so careless.

Now you tell me what would you do if you were in my shoes? Would you like to have damaged engine on pallet for 14 months and still be waiting on replacment parts?

It's not Colins fault the shipping company destroyed the engine and it's not Colins fault the engine now taps after you changed the cam carrier - how do we know you didn't put the cam back incorrectly and damage a valve ???

I've never said it's he's fault that engine is tapping. I bought used engine and that was gamble I exept.

Yes it's some what he's fault that engine was damaged as it was just strapped on the pallet with out any protection.
Yes it's he's fault for being careless and never wanted to proceed and get needed paperwork so I can get claim going. Now you tell me smart guy how can I get the claim started or complete with out paper work needed from he's side?

I've been working on cars professionally since 1999 and I've been employed with dealerships and serviced many timing belts to 911 chain replacment with use of dial indicators so I know how to properly replace timing belt.

Unfortunately outside of the car looks like a bucket. It was baking on California sun for 10 years before I acquired it,interior pieces shattered like glass first time I touched it.
I sorted out interior,stereo system,suspension and engine swapped it.
Just last week I had windshield replaced which was surprising to fined as in 91 Peugeot left USA.

Lucky for me we have no snow or rust so body work won't require so much labor. Probably good reason why paint in engine bay has survived,all I did was using different cleaners and wax to get it shinny again.

Sorry to hear your Woes ...
I have bought off Colin for the last 3 year & I have personally met Colin 4-5 times ...He seems great bloke & has great knowledge ...I can only speak as I find ...

I totally understand there's two sides to every story but I do know he has a lot of happy customers Thumbs up ..

Just my view ...I really don't think you should of put Personal conversations on here

Really hope you get things sorted m8
