Is there are reason you have not contacted the MP3Car.com store about this, instead of posting this online. What do you normally do when you buy something and it is broken?? Do the same thing.

Well yeah but I kinda wanted to fix it myself..too much hassle sending it back...besides ive opened it up now so I suppose any warrenty is void anyway...

I'd think sending it back would be less hassle than voiding warranty and needing to purchase a new unit.
But that's jsut me...

Sooo, your ****ed because you voided your warranty, and can't fix the unit. Who's fault is that.

While I understand your frustration with the MP3car store, SOMETIMES this happens, even with the biggest and best of companies.

The proper response would have been "Hey MP3, you sent me a bum unit, send me one immediately, and you cover any VAT or tarriffs because you effed up" I bet they would have been, "your right, we will take care of it", Instead, you effed yourself. THat is not thier fault.

If you like, I will buy it off you.

Yeah, granted it was my own fault...but after paying god knows how much import tax and having to take a 50mile drive to collect it from the depot I just couldnt be arsed sending it back...you think it's beyond repair then?

Well, with out looking at it, and checking it out, it is IMPOSSIBLE to know.

I would buy it from you and take the chance if you are willing.
