Talking Uncle shrek and his 'son'

Hi gents I thought you all should know about 'UNCLE SHREK' he answered my cry for help and had all the parts I wanted, was very helpful, checked over my T5 when I said I had a knock on the front suspension and is a very friendly & funny guy.I drove down from Sheffield today (230mile round trip) to see him and it was well worth the trip,his prices were very very good .. ie the price of the parts plus the price of the petrol was still miles cheaper than here in Sheffield !! My wife and I were made to feel very welcome ( even the cups of coffee were free ) If you need any 850 parts contact him and yes he will send the parts you require if you prefer..... again thanks uncle Shrek ......

If anyone has paid Uncle Shreck money for items they have not received and now cannot contact him please PM me as I am in the same boat and am wondering how many others are affected.

If anyone is in contact with him please also get in touch.

Cheers,
John

Ummmmm. I posted little while ago about "What has happened to Uncle Shrek!". Maybe a bit of knowledge about why people have been banned wouldnt go amiss for people who are in trade with the fella?

BTW Hello there Jod

S60 has gone in for repair, so my girlfriend has stolen my 850T5 and i miss her already .

Using my CBR at the moment lol

Usually we wouldn't discuss why a member has been banned but in this circumstance as other users could be materially affected I'll make an exception.

The problem is the non-arrival of items which have been paid for and being unable to contact Uncle Shreck to sort out the problem

He has not been on the forum since early January, has not responded to PM's or emails regarding the issue and now his registered email address has started bouncing emails.

Letters to his address have gone unanswered and I have been unable to obtain a phone number for him.

It may all be perfectly innocent, a family problem or trip taking him out of contact etc, but until some sort of contact can be established and the mess sorted out his account has been banned to prevent any more items being offered for sale.

Cheers,
John
