rulloyd Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Helloo. Does anybody have any experience of using XRN Engineering parts over Borg & Beck please (which are twice the price) in terms of quality / long lasting. Changing the Clutch Slave Cylinder (spit 1500). Apologies - couldn't find the correct forum for clutch matters. Many thanks for any advice, much appreciated. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul H Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 By way of interest recently purchased Borg and beck rear brake cylinders only to find they were metric thread and successfully ruined them by using the imperial connectors , got the t shirt again I replaced master cylinders, clutch slave with Girling new old stock Regards Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rulloyd Posted June 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Blimey thats really bad. Prompted me to ask Moss and they only supply imperial threads for anything they say (inc Borg & Beck). Thanks for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 As most of these components are marketed by a whole range of suppliers its not always obviuos just who made what . xrn are trade only from thier website , then with trw ap lockheed borg beck firstline unipart mopar and more than I care to remember who made what in whos packing is a minefield many just box up nasty stuff from miles away.. Just some ramblings pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Remember the film "Armageddon"? "Russian components.... American components... all made in Taiwan!" A lot of trade components all come from the same manufacturer, and the suppliers just change the wrapping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougbgt6 Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 Just replaced my failing HiFi CD player. Supposedly good quality Japanese market leader. First one only lasted 3 weeks. Replacement is a week old and acting up! Looked at the small print, made in Vietnam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68vitesse Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 Any guarantee is in addition to your statutory rights and can extend to six years. If you need to return an item under warranty always ask for your money back and buy the same item again, this way warranty starts from the date of the new purchase not the original purchase date.

dougbgt6 Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 That's exactly what I did! Also replacement under warrenty would have taken 3 weeks. So buy a new one, delivery next day, money back on the old one in a couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
