Title: Parts from England
Post by: Mike52 on June 16, 2011, 09:44:25 am: I had some trouble with the HVA-Factory mob in England not sending parts and not replying to emails a while back.
Ended up getting the stuff after making a pain of myself and have never been back.
Was at CD8 talking to a bunch of Husqvarna loving mates and one mentioned that he,d been waiting over a month for parts ordered and paid for from HVA. :o
It usually takes 2 weeks to get stuff out of England.
Their new policy is a minimum order from Aus of 100 pound , so not getting the parts can hurt.
If you are buying bits off this mob take care and only pay with paypal then you might get something .
Good Luck.

we need to start a catagory for good places to buy items like ebay finds, fotos, for example and every one can recommend a good trader and if they are make specific eg honda state that, or if they do i bit of everything say that aswell ,there is no reason for us to throw away our money these people need us so i ask the administarer can you add a catagory like this cause in this format it will always be there to reference unlike normal posts that are out of view in a couple of days

Or perhaps a buyers rating system?
cheers pancho.
PS Might cause probs.

Making it a sticky ensures it doesnt get lost after a few weeks which is what we did before. The thread starter can make it a sticky, there is a button for that somewhere. Then you wont always have newbies asking where to get stuff and they can just read through that thread.

Thats it !! easy !! .......or it may end up being like the ride places in each state and not fully utilized.

Post by: Dewy123 on July 08, 2011, 02:14:57 am: Ah so i'm not the only one, I've sent an email asking for bits for my 82 WR430 to HVA and Vintage Husky and got nothing back? There's no way i'm going to spend my hard earned with someone who can't be bothered replying emails. The sticky subject for reliable and good parts sources sounds like a great idea. So were can i get bits for my bike? Cheers Dewy

Remembered last week to ask my mate if he had received his parts.
Apparently they are on their way. ??? ???
I wonder if he will get them and how long he has been waiting now ?
I know he ordered them for CD8. :o
Sounded upset. ;D
