Mountain out of a molehill comes to mind . . . . .

my gran always told me not to air my dirty laundry in public. . . . .

as its not always what you say,  however more,    how you say it . . . .


A little more gentlemanly conduct could be called for,  "imho". . . . . . . .

                               Cheers for now

If you buy a four year old car from a private buyer and it goes wrong, you don't go banging on the door of the manufacturer - you jump up and down on the doorstep of the person who sold you it
This is the same for these wheels - MJL has no idea what the previous owner or owners has been doing with these wheels and the fact that he has agreed to repair them FOC speaks volumes of the man - I have never bought  anything from the man but would not hesitate if his customer satisfaction extends this far
Paul, either accept the man's kind offer to repair them or go and take up the issue with whoever you bought them from
Either way, if you carry on with this vendetta against MJL then you are going to be made to look very stupid at the end of it all

Right this is the last thing I will say on this.

I have never expected a new set of wheels from Matt Lee. My first phone call was ask on the best way to weld it after it cracked. Matt offered to exchange the wheel for me. The wheels are less than four years old it they are the new type with thw rolled edge not the early ones, I had a set of these and they were still fine when I got rid of them.

Tigger I can see your point, but I am only question the wheels on a safety issue. If I was running inner tubes in the tyres I would not have known that they had cracked as thy would have not let all the air out. My main concern is if the wheel had failed conpleaty at 60mph on the road what would happened. No I do not know the history of the wheels. Matt did not offer to reweld both wheels for me. He did reweld the one before sending it back to me, but he did not weld the crack on the inner of the rim. Its still cracked.

v8kenny, If a car has to be recalled because of a safety issue then it dose not matter how old it is or how many owners it has had. Look at Landrover last year. They recalled a lot of Discovers dateing back to 1990 due to leaking petrol tanks. They change the tanks on them.

If anyone else has anything to say/ask me then please PM me. I will not post another answer on this subject.

Paul

LOFTY:
Just to ask a question really, shouldnt Mach 5 s be used off road only, as they are not CE marked???

Perhaps just me, as it seems everything has to be these days.
