I heard that you had to convince the dealer that it was for a repair of a car out in China. Not sure if thats still the case?

They are being ever so careful about parts coming back to Britain. Don't understand why as at the end of the day its business.

Some men see things as they are and say why - I dream things that never were and say why not.
business is business, but its a totally different culture we are dealing with with different ways of doing things. It can be hard enough with different countries within Europe, but China I guess is a totally different game.
maybe they think they are protecting their uk spares market by controlling who ships what back to the UK. Afterall I guess they don't want to miss MG UK out of the loop as its more profit for them (globally)

I've worked extensively with the Chinese - my guess is they dont want to do it as the return is small and controlling it is expensive
