Be wary of Paddock Motors!
Matt_H:
usual advice applies to this kind of thing - pay with a credit (not debit card) if problems arrise and retailer dont want to sort it out tell them you wil ask the cc company to place a charge back on the account.. If they dont jump when you mention charge back then phone the bank in question - they will normallt refund the charges over the phone (Nationwide does anyway)
I've done this when I've used cc to pay for good which were fualty, goods returned and refund issued but no refund of postage. Phoned bank and they immediately refunded the postage back to my card.
The banks take a dim view of retailers taking the mick (as they have to cough up themselves) something in law about the cc and the retailer being jointly liable :-)

sorry , but i have dealt with them again and no 10 quid upfront thing...dont know what you are on about. They would have to enter the transaction twice which quite frankly if theft! No one is at liberty to take money for nothing even if its temporary and I cant see Paddocks who have a pretty good reputation risking it for intrest on a tenner for a week!
If it happened you should be onto trading standards....

can't say I've ever had *that* much of a problem with paddocks, although they have to some extent fallen out of favour in the last two years, well with me at least.
This isn't because of any strange transactions, or the time they got a little confused returning a clutch plate (they're human, and allowed a couple of minor hiccups) but simply that since I got the discovery nothing *much* has gone wrong with it, the bits which have are the usual safety-critical bits that go wrong (brake pads, CV joints etc) and in those circumstances I dislike fitting pattern parts.
Yes you can get none pattern parts from paddocks, but usually speaking I can get them locally too, for not a great deal more. (these are small items we're talking about).
then again, when I had the series, most of it fell off on a week by week basis and paddocks was more or less on speed dial.

As put forward by a mod, the views i have written are my own from my own experience, they are not the views of mud club (unless mud club wants them to be!!!!)
