MSD Coil Packs Group Buy Thread

[chris.t]

just discovery to go now (received pm from Ailwyn). Discovery has not been on the forum since 19/02 That's a generous offer Dave, lets give it a few more days and see what transpires.

[Exbury]

Happy to cover also or even 1/2 of the outstanding, based on how quick coil packs are now being replaced so long as people point them in the direction of those with two first I'm more than happy to help out!

OK it looks like we can go ahead with the purchase then if Jason and Dave will somehow cover the cost of discovery's coils. Can you guys sort out how you would best like to do this and thanks for enabling the GB to proceed.

Cheers Chris

Okay,

I'll give it until this evening (2000 hrs GMT) for Discovery to wake up!

If there is no post on this thread by that time, I'll send Matt the outstanding balance by PayPal.

Likewise, if anyone isn't happy with that idea, feel free to send me a PM before that time, otherwise I'll just do it

Sounds fair Dave. I'm sure Discovery will tune in soon. Thanks for your proactive gesture

Before you stuff too much profit into PP's coffers, I sent Matt a suggestion by PM last night. I'll copy it to you.

[Matt RI]

Gents,

I am fine with whatever process- frankly if we get an extra set to the other side I am sure that someone will want to pick them up in pretty short order... Based on that and offers made I am supremely confident that I will be made whole. Geoff, I am fine with your idea as well- though I would like to have the entirety of the hub $ settled so no one is wanting there! As soon as I have the total for that I will pay it out.

Actually already put the order for the coils in. Some snags at the end- when checking out online with Streetsideauto I found out that the discount code does not apply to MSD products- after all that waiting for the code (streetside did know the part number that I was working to apply it to, also...). So I called them up and they were able to fiddle a solution for me. Very easy going and good company to deal with, so far they have been great. However, the discount applied to this group buy might not be able to be repeated in the future. Certainly the size of the order helped to make that happen.

I have been told that I will have the coils tomorrow- so as long as I can be pm'd address confirmation of where I am sending them (batch one to chris.t, batch two to dapinky, correct?) I might even be able to get these out Saturday morning. Finally... Either way, I will let you know the date the delivery heads out as unfortunately delivery confirmation is not available on the flat rate international- something that I am always nervous about...

Take care- thanks for all your assistance in making this work!

Matt,

I've sent a PM with my address (and thanks).

[chris.t]

HYeah thanks Matt for all your wheeler dealing in order to get the best deal, much appreciated. Now all we have to rely on is the various postal organisations I'm sure it will be alright

[Matt RI]

Yeah, Chris- I share your anxiety... Unfortunately, in order to avoid the dreaded I am under valuing the contents. Meaning that if they ever were to be lost... *Knocking on wood* I am sure that all will be fine!

As for an update on the coils: They did arrive this afternoon- overnight shipping, how nice! So I sat down this evening: took them out of their packaging, bubble wrapped them, stuffed the packages and they are now awaiting my trip to the post office tomorrow morning. Chris- I will ask them for a delivery estimate and will post that info- perhaps with a few packages of 'coil mountain' on my dining room table! Chris and Dave- when you get the packages you will find five envelopes in the box. One envelope goes to each recipient. The contents are everything that was contained in the plastic casement.

No worries, I appreciate the... err... appreciation... and your patience whilst I cocked about and finally got off my arse to get this rolling.

Cheers and get ready for big sparks-

Matt

[dapinky]

Cheers and get ready for big sparks-

Nope......


....they ain't going to be actually fitted and used......

...they're just to keep the other pair (from the first group buy) company in the conservatory.......


....perhaps I'll actually get round to fitting some of this stuff eventually - it's nearly as bad a Smiffy

Speak for youself Mr Pink.....mine are going straight on now that I've got all the coolant drained out and the reservoir ready to come off

Off topic, but Arrow Radiators, Avon were superb...took the rad in Monday lunchtime, picked up the new one Tuesday lunchtime! Thanks for the pointer

[Matt RI]

At least fitting the coils is quick and easy when you get around to it, Dave... Though I know the feeling of accumulating parts and not accumulating the time to get them in. Pictures of your soon to be arriving parts:

Thanks to those who were concerned about my beverage intake whilst packaging the coils- I think the Mrs. was happy to have me off in the corner and not bothering her for a spell...

hell Matt, do apologise to Swmbo for turning your house into a Motor Factors

[discovery]

Sorry , Just got back after 2 weeks holiday . Will sort payment out now.

[Exbury]

Thanks Matt, they look good........! =)

The help is much appreciated!!

[Matt RI]

No worries, Discovery, you had plenty of people to vouch for you! If you need payment info, just let me know. Hope that your holiday was refreshing...

Ex- no worries- any time!

Chris- I made sure to clean up afterwards (and promised to recycle all the packing materials I had been hoarding in anticipation of these packages) so SWMBO was not a force to be reckoned with that night after all...
