I used a company called Alloys2U last year and although they got here I was worried sick for the 10 days it took .They promised to pick up on three occassions and once told me they had been collected when they were still at seller. They used DHL and because the contract was with A2U they would not give me the tracking number.
I'd rather deal direct with the courier this time.
Thanks

I've followed this thread with some sadness .
Since moving to Ireland four years ago I always yearned for the lower rate of vehicle duty in UK when paying the grossly unfair VD over here. It looks like you're getting close to the horrific rates over here. We have a government that are in partnership with the Greens who are in charge of Transport
. They have pushed through some Draconian changes which will escalate through the life of this government.
To give you an idea of road tax ;
2lt 590 euro /annum
2.6 1067
3 lt 1231
over 3 lt 1491
76 p = 1 euro
There were VERY few MV6's sold in Ireland I'm told.
Couple this with a Vehicle registration tax that adds about 35% to the initial cost of a car it becomes rather expansive.
We drivers are a very convenient revenue stream.

O ring seals between the water heated manifold and the block. They are the achilles heel of the K series engine. They fail and because the cooling system has a very small amount of coolent the engine overheats and THEN blows the HG. 
Get them done now before the engine self destructs.
Hope this is not too late .......
