A question, if I may

Have any of you blokes heard of MFD (Motor Factors Direct) in Leyland?
I need an expensive part and they have them with a five year guarantee. Are the likely to be around then, or next month?

Not a company I know, sorry.

But what payment methods do they accept?
In UK law we get buyer protection if using certain payment methods such as credit cards. Is that similar is Aus law?

I couple of years ago I tried to buy a LSD for my Troopy, from an Aus company, and long-story-short, it never happened. I had paid with PayPal and after a few weeks I got a full refund from PayPal.
It wasted some time, but no cash was lost.

Will the company be around for all of a 5yr guarantee period?
In the UK we have access to some basic company records:
There is this on the .gov.uk site

Is that the same company address? Looks like a very similar name, but that is a dissolved company.
Clicking through shows one of the former directors still active the other not. Stephen Alan TEBAY personal appointments - Find and update company information - GOV.UK

If it is that company, then they have been around since 2013, and appears to be a father and son operation.

Lots of different companies all registered at the same address, with the same director. Is that good or bad? I dunno really.

Njl seems to be on the money. They seem to have pretty decent feedback, on the whole. I think I’ll pull the trigger on it. Cost is not my biggest concern, quality is.
I always pay by PayPal.
Thanks for your help, fellows.

Yes pretty good company on Golden Hill Lane
