a rude 30 quids worth of bits from one of the 'specalists' (four little felt seals, of which two where the wrong size (they had clearly just sent me four of the same size), a nut which was the wrong size (5 quid - bastards) despite having the correct part number on the bag, and 8 quid postage for a parcel that cost a quid to post) - grrr ,

Yep... Just did a King pin on a Cloud 1 at work... £400 odd for the pin, £13odd for the felt seals, £20 odd for the washers... plus all the labour... ouch!! hahaa!

I changed a calistat on a Wraith... half way through, my boss says, oh, be careful... £500 there.... and they had the cheak to not give you a new gasket!!

the joy of Rolls and Bentley!
