Air Compressor repair

[Lambie]

I dont think that it can be done to Chinese clone - am I wrong???

Like many I bought an ebay clone of the bushranger max Air type compressors but it has died.....

I bought it through ebay and have got pretty average support from the supplier - is this what others have experienced??

For the record - beware EBAY buyers - After my experience I've decide to give the cheapies a miss

After my compressor's piston seal failed here's the response to my warranty enquiry for a unit that is 54 weeks old..... (12 months and 2 weeks)
"Hi Gavan, (Hi is a freindly start )

I did take a look at the listing and note this item's warranty has expired. As your item was dispatched over 12 months ago, we are unable to offer a replacement or a refund. Our warranty and returns policies are displayed on our FAQ page located in our listings:

http://www.auctionbrokers.com.au/faq.html

If you require any further assistance, may we suggest you contact a local specialist. We also recommend the websites of manufacturers where applicable and Google (www.google.com.au) as a general search engine.

I'm very sorry I couldn't help further on this occasion, but I do hope the above information helps.

Kind regards,
Leigh

i dont see a problem with the response. and wouldnt expect any better from a major retail chain like bunnings, repco ect... if an item states 12 months warrenty and u fark it after 12 months and 2 weeks its tuff titties...if u took a cordless drill from bunnings, killed it 2 weeks out of warrenty do u think they will just feel sorry for u and replace it any ways??

for the price they go for.. (i paid 55 bucks for my ebay bushranger clone) id say 12 months is a good run from one...
as for repairs, my father had a repco cheapy that burnt the pistion ring out, i muked around with a heap of differnt plastics tryin to get it goin again, never got more than about 4 31's pumped up before it would die again... if u could get the right material.. a carbon impregnated teflon.... then u could cut your own new pistion ring ....

How much did you pay for it?

I've been stung twice by ebay
1'st i brought a chinese 12.000 lb winch to fit to my troopy with a arb winch bar i asked the qestion (will this winch fit my arb winch bar) yes no worries same bolt patten as warn. how ever when i fitted it the fairlead roller did not fit I had to but a warn fairlead roller at $300 i should have just brought a warn.
2'nd i brought some cv's that did not fit my 45 series troopy i had to steal 1 from my shorty to get going and to return item to the seller after all this (fitting removing returning cv and refitting cv) i should have just brought i from don kyatts
Buyer beware on ebay as you get what you pay for if its cheap it probaly to good to be true

Seems to be pretty safe buying of private people on ebay just trading stuff but IMHO don't bother with the companies making a living out of it, it's generally cheap shit made to sound good. Had some great stuff from private sellers though
