C8 left Engine/gearbox mounting bracket

[Chuit]

Thank you once again, GMAB!

When I was googling for the engine mounting bracket last night, I came across this site:

https://oldstockspares.com/en/1813H0

Tried to buy the part, but got a credit card error at the checkout. Then along came James on the customer service chat. Told me he would process my card manually if I could just give him my banking password and code. Then the alarm bells started ringing in my head and I told him sorry but no way. Googled the company name "tamar spares ltd" and found this review site, telling me that I am not the first one they have tried to scam:

https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/oldstockspares.com

So beware!

I would not entirely trust the trustpilot.com reviews. I cannot vouch for the honesty of Tamar Spares, but they are a real company registered in the UK since 2009, with valid VAT registration.

There are some valid traders who have payment procedure problems, so beware, but there is no evidence that they have attempted anything dishonest in this case.

No reason for anybody to ask for a banking password though. I can't speak for the above, but if anyone asks for that, walk away. Based on looking at all of the reviews there, it obviously is a scam outfit to me with 100% of people being scammed.

It does not even look to be a proper site - no telephone contact and even their 'parts' catalogue is basically a link to another company site! Very suspicious.

If you feel you could of been scammed but didn't, or want to report a phishing attempt, then you can report it to Action Fraud:

I have found a used driveshaft for sale that I think might fit, but they did not list the part number. However they listed the donor VIN: VF3**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]
Would you be able tell if the shaft from a 2006 Peugeot 807 would fit my 2004 Citroen C8? The donor car is supposed to have had the same engine and gearbox as mine. Can you tell that from the donor VIN?

[GiveMeABreak]

I will have a check for you..

Yes the driveshafts are both the same - but beware the gaiter kit for item number [4] on the parts diagram I posted up previously is different between the 2 models, so if replacing make sure you order the correct one with the part number in the schematic on the previous page.
