Title: Trade prices...
Post by: Welung666 on 22 March 2010, 13:14:38
As some of you know SWMBO works for a local motor factor and as a result gets a staff discount. Been in this morning to price up a DMF and clutch for my 99 mini-fl tractor. Nearly died when I was told "a few pence change from £380"!!! That it for all LUK parts but break me  :o :o
