Re: It’s cash folks…

I use cash mostly but do also use cards when i choose too and when that choice is taken away from me i stop going there or using them like the local chip shop has now gone to card only so i now go elsewhere, but if cash is legal tender how are they allowed to refuse it ?

Radiator Cooling Fans


My advice is avoid kenlow etc and buy a quality fan from a company that publishes accurate specifications for their fans, T7 is a useful company to look up.

Re: 1500TC head replacement - Cost?

We have just had my sons 1360 head that's in his Toledo unleaded conversion and skimmed and i'm sure it was only about £250 all in, we took head of took it in and collected when completed from a localish (south yorkshire) engineering company thats been around for years.
