Hi all,
I would agree with all comments previously Milners excellent for parts, had advisory for rear anti roll bar links on MOT , ordered lunchtime arrived next day at 8.30am. and half the price from a main dealer :D |

Hi
Just to report another success story for Milners -
Friday 3:00pm discovered pepperpot tailpipe - silencer okay but (MOT booked for Sat am) sh**t!!!!! Rang Milners and ordered next day delivery of their exhaust.
Sat 9:30am Exhaust arrived and I took it to the MOT Garage for them to fit.
12:00midday Phone call from the garage - 'we can't get this to fit!' (Flared ends on both pipe and Box!) Rang Milners who arranged for me to pick up correct tailpipe from one of their Directors at their new premises that afternoon. And refunded me my carriage costs (express at £20 +VAT).
5:00pm Exhaust fitted, MOT got!

Just another recommendation for Milner - A cheery happy chap I spoke to (Carl) who knew much more than I was talking about - stuff arrived next day via interlink. Spending money has never been so much fun |

Very impressed. Milners delivered next day as prommised. And after a mamouth struggle to undo the manifold joint the old exhaust came off in two pieces. The Milners one is a joy to fit. It comes in three parts and fits perfectly. All done in the drive single handed. All in all quality parts and very good price and perfect service. :D _________________ Way to many toys.

Hi guys
Milners have got me out of the doo doo to-day and i can safely state that i will be using them for all my parts. The bus went in to a pals garage for a full service to-day i just didn't have the time to do it and as i will be working in weymouth as of Tuesday using the bus i thoght it needed doing.
Well i got oil, filters, belts, glow plugs and bus bar took it round to him at 9 am got a call at midday to inform that he had lossened off the belt to change them and the front crank pully has fallen to bits.
Well rang the main dealer they wanted £187+VAT for the pully and £29+VAT the oil seal next day delivery £30+VAT.
Jesus i thought will try milners.
Pully £130 plus VAT
Oil Seal £4+VAT
Delivery £25 next day before 12
and they were very helpful on the phone making sure i had everything i needed to do the job and the correct parts for the job.
Cheers Milners saved my bacon
Regards
Eddie :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D _________________ http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk |

I had an interesting day Friday, after three visits to Milners. First off to get a service kit ( filters etc ) secondly to pickup and front down pipe and then again to collect the correct down pipe.
For my inconvenience they gave me a filter kit and could apologise enough..... impressed with their service _________________ 100% BIO DIESEL ! Well not quite at the moment

i was on the phone to milners this morning, couldn't fault their service over the phone, they told me about my gear box and transfer box oil,
dexron two for none towing and dexron 3 for towing, also hypoid tansfer box oil is 75w90 which i thought was handy, even though they didn't have any in stock i manage to use their knowledge and get some close to home, thanks milner for your A1 service, any one else wouldn't supply that info costing me time and travelling cost
thanks again milner |

Must admit I'm rather surprised you said that!
Especially considering you were given that same information, only two days ago, on this post:- http://www.MDOCUK.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=18006&highlight=fluid _________________

I know it's been said before and I only used them recently due to recommendations on here, but I thought it worth mentioning.
Order a full filter kit from them a couple of weeks ago for a great price, worked out around £25 delivered next day.
Rang them today after considering replacing glowplugs after a post on here and was actually told that unless I actually had a definite cold start problem, I was far better off leaving the original Mitsu ones in than replacing them with aftermarket ones. I guess I'm just a bit impressed that rather than just blindly take my order and make a few quid, they would choose to offer me honest advice that leaves them out of pocket. I'll be going back to them next time I need something for sure.
Thanks guys |

DO NOT BUY THEIR WHEELNUTS.
For one they are a weird size. Old one's were 21mm, theirs are neither 21 or 20mm.
But the main problem is they rust like a bastard in about a week. So I will be sending mine back and suggesting they get a better supplier. |
