This cropped up on Facebook here

Although they don't explicitly seem to list the S2000, the ad does say "any car". Might be worth a call if anyone is in the market for an OEM clutch.

S2000 and NSX excluded after I put my order through.

This morning it said "Excludes NSX" and 20 minutes after I put my order in (2 clutches) I got an email from them stating:

Good Morning,

Many thanks for the order but unfortunately the £162 clutch price doesn’t include s2000 or nsx models. This is stated at the bottom of the illustration/description. We can put a listing on for s2000 clutch kits but they will be at a reduced price of £342 including vat and delivery.
We will refund the transaction this morning.

Then magically the website had been changed to state:
"Excludes S2000 and NSX"

I had to check Google Cache to make sure I was 100% right:

http://webcache.goog...n&ct=clnk&gl=uk

As you can see it only states "Excludes NSX".

Really and truly I should be able to push them into selling it to me, especially after they are suggesting that I am an idiot by saying that it was already stated, it would have been simple for them to apologise or to leave that line out and I wouldn't have minded.

Anyway I can't be bothered so I'll just await my refund.

Great customer service so far

Typical. Another one to cross off the list.

I think that was to be expected really, they don't have the S2000 or NSX listed in their side menu and I think they'd forgotten they exist. I got as far as filling shopping cart - I was expecting it to say "computer says no" after I put my reg in - but it didn't.

I'm pretty sure the law allows them to not sell to you as there was a genuine mistake (that they have rectified), plus there was no clear offer and acceptance to form a contract.

Annoying they were calling you a liar/idiot by pretending that it had been there all along though !!

Yeah, quite disapponted with their email to be honest.

I wrote them two emails since and they even didn't have the courtesy to reply to them at all.

They just sent me a refund instead and cancelled the order.

Poor customer service without a doubt
