A slightly poorly VR-4

[alan]

well yr ahead a me, i hung on for the black ones and mine are still in clearance, looks like i have the joy of the post office to come

[Humpty's Revenge]

Well they have landed in the UK & cleared customs!

So lets bring on the charges & a long wait? Funny thing is I never ordered a long wait.........

[elnevio]

I had the notice of charges through the door yesterday from Parcelforce.

Approx £12.50 import VAT.

And £13.50 handling charge!

So a total of about £120 landed. Would have been closer to £110, but I paid for Express Delivery, as I needed them quickly originally!

The general rule nowadays is that if the item is shown as a gift and of under £100 value then it doesn't incur the attention of HMC&E.

i got charged customs etc, £11.41 for import vat and £8.00 clearance fee. wonder why its different ?

[wintertidenz]

They only catch some packages going through customs.

Ye all depends with customs, i order in my td04 kits for the starlets from america and recently i got manifold, decat, gaskets, water & oil lines all packaged together without any problems. But got stung for £12 on a set of injectors that came seperate.

[Davezj]

How do you pay duty and vat before the part come into the country?
I don't mind paying the duty ant vat, it is the clearance fee that parcel force charge you I don't like paying.
Basically, parcel force pay your customs charge for you and then you pay parcel force the money back, but parcel force then charge you for the transaction.

[amsoil]

You can't, they have you by the short and curlys I'm afraid.

My Vr4 has just done a similar thing. Had an occasional misfire for a while now. Got seriously sick when arriving home on saturday. Had a look and the nearside front spark plug had been spat out! No threads left in the head either Helicoil kit ordered. Cant see any other damage (Fingers crossed).

[jjayokocha]

would they likes of this kit do the job for inlet mani bolt holes?
