Parts

[Paroor]

Dear Bud Silvers, There is no fight here. Murray is correct in many things about the business. I personally had a lot of bad experience in my office. While preparing international tenders for big electrical projects my company had to buy parts made all over the world. The reaction time in Germany is certainly different than the reaction time in UK or in Italy. I had a lot of quarrel with many partners of my company sitting in UK or other countries. Just because one component is missing very often it is difficult or impossible to give the offer for the project in time. There is a lot of money involved. But my experience UK was not that bad compared with that of some other nation. Look at Boeing. Years back after fulfilling all the financial demands you had beg them to get an aircraft. These days their team will come to India for business. The customer service had rapidly changed. They are learning fast. And it is good this way. Look at Germany. As far as business culture is concerned the Germens are very prompt accurate and reliable. They want to do business with the same customer again. And this good culture we all had to adopt from the Germens. May be automobile business is different. I may not be right on these things. But this the way I see it. I never wanted insult any body. If we never talk open about these factors, things will never improve. Even in a family we had to discuss unpleasant things. Showing always only the chocolate side is not sincerity. May be this is one of the reason why US and European schools are loosing the international ranks. If people are interested only on technical solution it is better to organise a call centre for T-abc. Give them your problem they will give the solution. It it the way t-abc work ? Dot not forget the human factor. After all t-abc is only emotion, nothing but emotion. It is business only for few members helping us. Have a nice day.

Good mornin Madhu, Murray, and all; Your answer makes very good sense. I am beginning to wonder if perhaps there is a cultural or social or economic difference between countries of the world which creates the different response time. Honestly this is something that I have never really considered. My philosophy has always been that people are just people where ever they are from, but perhaps from the standpoint of doing business they really are not. I absolutely do still believe that regarding the people on this list, people are just people. Some good, some not so good! Some rich, some poor, some happy, some sad. Murray, I would like to know the names of the suppliers which you refer to. If you prefer not to say publicly that is certainly your prerogative and I respect that. However personally I would like to avoid doing business with anyone who is not reliable and who does not provide quality at a fair price and in a timely manner. It is interesting to consider the differences between Nations and the effect that has on the way they do business. I suppose however that caution is required when dealing directly with people of different Nations/cultures. Are the Japanese more reliable than the Italians, generally speaking? Maybe? But if you personally know a Japanese man and an Italian man, does that mean the Japanese man is more honest? I don't think so. I hope I am making sense here. What I am trying to say is that I find it interesting that the United States does not seem to be well liked around the world, yet I have many good honest friends who would give you the shirt off their backs if you needed it. I must say that I know many who would not also. Somehow I don't think that our government and the few Americans who have the means to travel the world are representative of who the American people really are. Madhu, I did not really mean to drag you into this, but I am very glad for your wisdom and your comments. This much I am sure of; Madhu, Murray, Tweed, and many others on this list are Good Men! All quite different, but all quite good! I am personally thankful to call you friends. Further I believe you are all assets to this list. Thank you very much for contributing and listening. I have met many people on this list and have made some good friends. There are many others on this list who I really hope to meet in person someday. God willing and in time I may get to. It is very early here, but the sun is rising and I feel the urge to roll. Clear the Black Forest...... TC 8192 is about to become Low and perhaps not so slo....

Sorry guy's for raising the battle flag. . Just commenting on the state of affairs in business these days. And a reminder. . my Jim was Born in Barton-on-Sea Hampshire, England. . . I am an anglophile thru and thru. . but businesses on both sides of the ocean and the world for that matter are getting very blas . . customer service is very rare. . and personal attention rarer still. The almighty dollar reigns. .and the Australia dollar and the British Pound are not far behind. That is why we hang together as a group for assistance where commerce has little. . .

G'day Ray, ...thanks for the link. "Watch and weep?" I don't know about that, and I also don't know whether I'm angry or sad, or maybe a combination of all the above. So the new owners have ideas that MG will mean 'Modern Gentlemen'. Good grief! Well, perhaps there's an irony in that, aside from acquiring the rights to all that heritage, the asians have also inherited the MGFTF with all its ongoing reliability woes.(How lucky you are in the USA not to have had these things foisted upon you.) Then again there may be an even more bitter irony in that the Chinee may actually produce a RELIABLE version! It's all academic really - for me my MG world finished at the end of 1949!

It seems some people can never be pleased. Without Moss Motors and all the other suppliers we would be S.O.L. in keeping our fine cars on the road. I have been a dealer for Moss Motors for over twenty years and have had very few things that were not right. Without fail Moss came through and replaced parts or refunded money with out fail including postage. One was a major problem due to faulty material and they paid for my labor to replace it. Try that with your local Ford dealer. I have personal experience with a Ford Windstar. I not only replaced the engine but the transmission. All at my expense. GOOGLE Ford Windstar and see how they have treated their customers. Sandy Sanders Hudson Florida [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

For information, TC2626 has for over 20 years had a plastic cap from a modern M7cyl, the thread was the same tpi (threads per inch) but had to be relieved somewhat, but only glass-filled Nylon or similar so no big deal. There is a seal which bears on the M/cyl reservoir and a vent. If you are interested I will look at the weekend for manufacturer, then should be findable in a scrap yard. (I think it came off a Metro, small euro box from Rover Group RIP) greetings all around the world from Germany - raining for the last 2 weeks, haven't seen the sun since my last visit to England! and a message of speedy recovery to Madhu, who damaged a foot starting one of his lovely old motorcycles - best stick to the TC!
