techno Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Nowt like optomism(?)...repeat "you will not bin it again"My local shop where I get all my stuff done took mine when I binned it, gave me 3 quotes, all new bits ,some new bits and then one just to basically get it road worthy so I could use it.£1100-£200!Obvious choice really!
