I thought I hit quite a bargain when I came across JCT Auto Spares in Midrand. They charged me R225 for a set of Golf Mk1 headlamps. made by Autopal. I fitted the headlamp myself, as I've done 100's of times before to the previous 5 Mk1 Golfs I've owned. Today is two weeks after I purchased and installed the headlamps. While driving to work, in the usual stop-go traffic Johannesburg is renowned for, I heard what sounded like glass falling on the road in front of my car. I stuck my head out of the window and saw what looked like a headlamp lens in pieces on the floor. When I got to work and inspected the front of my car it turned out to be my headlamp's lens! I phoned JCT Auto Parts to complain about the quality of the good they sell. The "lady" in control of their "customer services" say to me that their terms and conditions states that "unless the goods are fitted by a professional and registered mechanic or auto electrician" they cannot do anything about this... Then she argues with me to say I cannot list them on Hello Peter for the same reason?? Don't buy ANY Golf Mk1 headlamp parts made by Autopal from JCT Auto Spares and expect them to honor ANY sort of come-back or breakage. This is rubbish and typical of people who sell rubbish quality stuff!
