This is unjustified. So let's get a little balance in this:

I have always found Dan responds immediately to telephone calls and emails courteously, efficiently and knowledgeably. Orders are discounted 10% to forum members and postage is free. It is unreasonable to expect for Duckworths to list every part on their website - you need to 'phone them with your VIN# to hand.

The contributors making criticisms don't say how they tried to contact Dan so perhaps they were using the wrong details? Believe he was away on annual leave starting around early October so it would have been better over that period to use the general 'phone# for Duckworths. 2008 MY Java Black TDV8 HSE

I emailed danroberts[at]duckworthlandrover.co.uk which was the address he posted himself on the mat topic.

http://www.rrsport.co.uk/forum/topic32080-15.html

It didn't bounce.

Perhaps there is an innocuous explanation and he is away or whatever. But facts are facts nonetheless.

I found Duckworths to be as good as Paddi says on the occasion I bought something from them. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

I have bought a few bits from Dan and never had a problem. Always found him responsive with enquiries and parts have always been shipped as agreed. I used the PM facility on this site as opposed to emailing. Proud owner of a 2008 TDV8 HSE.....and an Audi A3 2.0T DSG Cab and a Porsche 911 Turbo (Mercedes W208 320 CLK and Mercedes W124 E220 Estate now gone)

Spoke to Dan at Duckworths who checked which parts I needed against my VRN, then sent out the bushes and clamps as requested, happy with the service. I'll update on knocking noise once the new bushes are fitted.

OK, finally got the bushes fitted. No more knocking noise!! Easy job (though the fitter in work did it for me, with the use of a ramp), made easy by the use of a swan-neck spanner, meaning the only other bits to remove were the gearbox tray and fuel cooler. Total cost was about £25 for bushes and brackets, and a £10 for a drink to the fitter.....

Need to update my location, not there anymore.......it really was pretty straight forward though when you remove the tray and use a 'swan neck' spanner for the bolts...I reckon half hour in total if you were in a hurry

No, I carried out the test as recommended by Disco Mikey but no clunk at 10Mph test. What I had was a slight knocking noise over small bumps, uneven road service or small pot-holes. It didn't take much to cause the knock, but now all sorted. Hope this helps......
