Yeah we are a long way from anywhere lolbut consider it this way
I gave my 6VE1 a drink and bent 4 rods - I got rings, pistons, rods and gasket set from the US, paid US 270 for shipping alone and the whole lot arrived at my door for less than the Aust dealers price for the gasket set alone!
We dont sell many of these he says on the phone......cant imagine why not!
