   Hi guys, looking for peoples opinoins here as im in a bit of a quandry.
   
   A few days ago i bought some peugeot group A cup car cams 2nd hand from a guy on the 106 rallye forum. I paid £200 and they were listed as being in good condition however on closer inspection 2 of the lobes on the inlet cam appear to have some pitting/wear. The question is does this matter or should i be asking for a refund?

   Wondering if they havent been hardened by being run in properly. If in doubt, send them back!

   Doesn't look ideal - would look to get a refund.
   
   I wouldn't fit them in my engine personally

   If there were no pictures of damage and no description of damage then send them back

   no mention of damage, listed as good condition. I didnt 'gift' the money and covered the fees myself so should still be covered by paypal buyer protection.

   Email or text the guy, give him a chance to refund you. If not open a case.

   Seller agreed to a full refund, he hadnt inspected the cams when they were removed from the engine.
