[QUOTE="Piston Pete, post: 98702, member: 361"] Thanks - i checked the site , and it says the item is out of stock - I emailed the spares co a week ago , but got no reply- i know that they are busy with the move to the new premises. At least I know I can get a replacement - and in reasonable time. I wont throw good money after bad in chasing the courier - I put a nominal figure of €250 on the value of the package, and that will be the limit of their exposure . In addition , the fact that oil ( a bit of sludge more likely) leaked out will allow them to avoid any claim as oil is on their list of prohibited items for carriage ......its just one of those things you chalk up to ( expensive) experience . Before I go placing an order ,I was just chancing my arm to see if someone had a tank that they would sell - you know how it is , you buy something , and suddenly you hear the responses " oh i have a few of those under the bench, they have been there for years , you should have let me know" [/QUOTE]
