    Thought duty would be approx the VAT amount, so 17.5% + admin fee

    Anyone correct me if wrong

    Parcel force will slap a 'holding fee' on it too. Which I find highly annoying considering I didnt ask them to either hold it or even post it. Bastards. They have lost 2 out of 2 of my stuff too. Cant get better service than that!

    Have ordered one from GT Racing paid for today total cost of unit £215 inc delivery. I have to say they have been great and provided me with an excellent service.
    Regarding the auxillary belt are these an over the counter part from motor parts traders or can you only obtain them from specialist places.

    The duty and VAT normally works out at about 23.5% for car parts. And yes you pay tax on a tax .


    My A/C compressor seems to be making a noise. It makes the noise with the a/c on or off, but only on a pretty warm day?

    I am under the impression that if the compressor fails then you need to change the condenser and have the system flushed through.

    Did you need to do this?

    Thanks,
