Idler ~ £70, set of track rod ends ~ 65, pitman ~ £50, so you effectively get the rest for free so yes, its a bargain. A hell of a bargain!

Is that all new stuff or off a breaker?

[pete-w-]

is it a right hand drive idler?

[Apache]

The idler in the pic is a left hand drive one...

[KERRSURF]

the parts are all brand new, as stated in his listing.

I'll need to ask if he can supply a rhd idler.

Don't forget to add VAT and import duty just incase you get hit (and remember you pay the vat and duty on the cost of the product and the shipping cost)

Been stung a few times myself..... If it's over ~£17 then you should be taxed.

Rob.

Edit: a quick look at milners site suggests they'd be pretty competitive once duty is taken into account. (couldn't find the adjusting sleeves though...)

[KERRSURF]

I did think about the duty, but was hoping I'd be lucky.

thing is, I don't even really need all of the parts so I will probably just get what I need here in the uk.

Or, you could order it and flog what you don't need.

Which is a bit like ordering a load of stuff you don't want from a UK supplier and then selling it on ??

Ain't looked at the link he posted, but I'll bet it'd be fairly hard to get that price from a UK supplier. If so, then yes, it's a feasible idea.

i get parts at a very low cost trade price of a mate
i think i should look into how much others are paying for bits

may be a gap here needs filling?...................... .............................. .............................. .............................. ........(sorry was mi tash talking)

If you can supply decent quality kit at a good price, it's a possibility.

That's what I was saying - add import duty and VAT to his quote and milners will pretty much match it.......(couldn't find the adjuster sleeves though)

Possibly, but manufacturer/quality is also a deciding factor. If that is better quality kit for a comparable price, which would be preferable?
