Has anybody had any dealings with this company?

I'm not having a good experience with them.

Well I used them as you all say they come highly recommended. I bought a tailgate liner which was a great price and delivered next day.

I was after a EPB as mine was on its way out. I called up and they had one for £200 which I thought was a good price. I was told that it comes with a 3 month guarantee. So it arrived and I was happy so far. Next step was to get it installed. Took it to my land rover mechanic to be installed-said it would be done by the end of the day. Still good news. That afternoon I received a call saying its all installed but there's no response from the EPB unit. I called MMJ and they said it would now need to be calibrated (where they said its a two hrs job and just swap out for the old one) So day 2 starts of by sending it to another LD mechanic who computer does more then my guys one. He's didn't find the unit either and there was power going to the EPB from the car. I was told its a piece of S&*T and I should get my money back.. So I called MMJ and was told it worked when they sent it, which may be true but its now intalled on my D3 and nothing works. They said I said I should remove it and send it up so they can check it.

So Ive been without the car for 3 days and have hire a car and now. I paid for the old one to be removed and the MMJ one to be installed and the result is, Its still doesn't work. Now I asked to pay to get it removed and send it up again. I've emailed them and they have stopped replying. What are your thoughts? I bought it as I was told it has a three month guarantee and when does that apply?

Now I have a car with a none functional EPB that I paid for and paid to get installed.

Advice needed.

Did they match the VIN in the PCM (Powertrain Control Module) with the EPB module? Question

Bob and Patrick are great Mr. Green

Always on the end of the phone and really really helpful .... Thumbs Up

If you give them time and an explanation they usually sort any issues out ....

They give you all the bits and in a way sort of expect the receiver to know how to fit and sort it out .....

Again always found them really helpful Thumbs Up

I expect the hire car is costing you an arm and a leg so maybe get the garage to supply and fit a new EPB so you can get back on the road ASAP. Then continue your dealings with MMJ to get it sorted. Thumbs Up

Are you sure it is the EPB at fault? I thought mine was goosed and ordered a new one to have it fitted by an experienced mechanic. He said it was very unlikely to need changing and he was right. He very quickly found a bad joint in the wiring loom and it was fixed in half an hour. I was very pleased to send the new EPB back for a full refund.

They told me it was straight swap. never asked for any details about VIN only what year and model. I emailed them again yesterday and again today to ask how they wish to resolve the issue. Not a single response. So now I haven't heard from them in over a week. I think I need to take this to the next level.
