    I will only shop in Halfrauds with my trade discount card :-). If you work in the motor trade or can prove you work alot on cars with receipts as proof get one! Big savings can be had! Eg my gunson gas analyser with trade card was cheaper than what old used ones were going for on ebay!

    What about the little float valve? That could be blocked as well?. Did you check the fuel flow?.

    I wouldnt risk it, just explain when you phone them up and they put it as a note on your document.

Can anyone give me a rough price for removing over sills and fitting new sills? Assuming that its probably pretty bad underneath? Its a little way off yet but wanted to get an idea of how much it would be.
