Has anyone ever ordered from them? Is delivery prompt thinking of placjng an order but never used them before.

 

[RobFZS]

never had anything off them, but they are legit

 

[agrimax]

Yes.Only used them once so far and had the delivery in either one or two days.And that was across the water to me...I'd vouch for them.

 

[Pheasant Surprise]

Yes I bought a couple of Cobo plugs from them a month or so back. Very prompt delivery.

 

[Hampshire Forage]

Yes, I've used them for some front mudguards, good prompt service

 

[madmatt]

Excellent thanks all, not sure why i have never come across them before.

 

[bobk]

They're very legit but f**kin expensive .

 

[DrDunc]

They're very legit but fudgein expensive .

Some of their stuff is reasonable to be fair......

But the rest does make even spaldings seem cheap

It's just a sparex catalogue with a profit margin added, and postage.
If you think they're expensive try dealing with a local sparex agent instead and save the postage?
Some just use Malpas to get sparex part numbers and argue dealer down.

I get little bits from Malpas because it actually works out cheaper than going into town to deal with the main stealer parts monkey who wasn't out of nappies when my tractors were new.

I agree some stuff looks dam expensive but other bits are far cheaper than i can get locally!

They are very good and very helpful. Some stuff is Sparex and some are genuine parts - direct from NH.

They carry a fair amount in stock but also a lot is drop shipping. I.e. They order in the parts which they have advertised. I have Used them loads of times. Quick delivery, however some of the Sparex parts were absolute rubbish and not fit for scrap - a good example being 3 point linkage lift yolks. The Sparex ones were poorly cast, and looked like they were made in a backstreet forge - they fitted only just - but the threads were unevenly bored, dangerous and not cut properly - sent back several units which were all exactly the same. I also ordered top links which were Sparex but these didn't fit. Sparex sent through the wrong ones with the wrong tractor end fitted.

Also beware of certain QTP parts, the ones I had were cast in Turkey and looked very well made - but the threads didn't match up to the threads on the NH.

I cannot fault Malpas - they were quick, polite and helpful - just some of their suppliers supply crap parts !

I get the vast majority of ford stuff from ireland , you win a little on the exchange rate , QTP gear is ok.

Many thanks for that. I aprreciate a bit more indepth reply at the end of the day i am only ordering pins and bits for a home made project on a vintage tractor so i am sure it will be fine.

 

[Kelpie]

They are spot on to deal with, got roll pins for the wrapper and muckspreader chains off them, deliver no problem to NE Scotland

 

[Grassman]

Iv used them. No problems.
They have created a simple way of buying parts. Some other dealers should learn a lesson from them.

 

[David the spud man]

They're fine legit 100% as already said they are just sparex parts with a margin added. what are you looking to buy from them

 

[R tea]

They are fine, have had a few bits and bobs off them.
Have had them deliver to the door and also bought online to collect in store, no problems.

 

[essexpete]

Had a few bits and bobs as well and when a sparex NH clutch pedal spring was completely wrong they sent money back no quibbles.
