I've only ever used the email address from their web site and it was that mail server that failed to respond.
However based on the latest posts, I've tried again.
Thanks to all who have responded to my original post.

Hi all,

I've had a reply from John at JK and all is still very much business as usual. No issues his end.

Therefore if you've had issues emailing I'd suggest you check things from your side - I emailed via the email address on the JK website and all worked fine.

Thanks

I think you can just contact XCS and they'll sort you out.

I would think there's not much on a Dax that's unique to a Dax (chassis and body aside) I'm pretty sure most bits can be obtained from other manufacturers.

Did your emails actually come back to you with this type of error:-

"We tried to deliver your message multiple times over a few days; however, the person's destination email provider has not been reachable or has not accepted this message. We have stopped trying to deliver this message. Please check with the person you are trying to send to that they can still receive emails at this address.

I emailed on Tuesday. Haven't received any bouncebacks or errors though.

I spoke to JK a month or so ago without issue. But no responses to recent emails in the last couple of weeks

Dax Sportscars, DJ sportscars and 427 Motor co all dissolved on companies house, so i would say not.

Jk sportscars still active, but the last years accounts are not very enthusiastic to say the least.

Did AK not buy them all out and still supply parts and pieces?

My emails to them keep getting returned with the error:-
Host jksportscars.co.uk is not responding.
the person's destination email provider has not been reachable or has not accepted this message
The UK phone number rings for a while then cuts off.
The Belgium number rings and then an answering machine states the call cannot be answered and no message can be left.
Anyone know anything about them?
Thanks.
