Default Explorer UK contact problems

Right guys, I ordered some ES9000 shocks on 8th Oct and paid when I ordered. Was told there was stock when I ordered

I've still not had shocks delivered and am having trouble contacting Explorer UK by telephone :twisted:

There appears to be a telephone line fault 8O which has gone on for more than 2 days which I find hard to believe these days and before that no one was in the office :cry: I also don't get a reply to any emails

I'm in the middle of the North Sea at the moment, so could someone phone 01565 754988 to see if they get the same message. It might be a phone problem out here, but I can phone anywhere else without issue.

I'm starting to get a bad feeling about this :twisted:

Just tried them and line dead.... being an eternal optimist I rang BT to check... they have a fault reported which they are investigating, suggest try again later... this was 1.20pm today... will try again late afternoon, if still no good I may be able to shoot up there and knock on the door as not too far away..

If you could do that for me it would be much appreciated.

If there not in stock I will get shocks from Milners as I am home Tuesday and want to change springs and shocks on Wed or Thursday.

I got the springs from milners, standard height 20% higher duty.



Milners sell KYB shocks as I've already asked :wink: They appear to be original manufacturer replacements.
I wanted Procomps as I had them on my T2 and they made a big difference

Are the KYB shocks you've got Series 55 or 44?

I can get both, but the 55's are £70 each

Right guys, can we please keep this thread about Explorer UK and the contact issue :?:

I'm starting a new thread on KYB shocks and where I've found you can get them in the uk.
