Seems a lot cheaper at the equivalent to £80 + shipping. But they cancelled my order and gave me a list of UK dealers the best I found being about £130, and said if I wanted to deal direct mail them again. This I did then they mail and say they cannot supply the US or Canada. Still waiting for a response - I have made it clear I am in the UK. Even if there is import duty and shipping still a heck of a lot cheaper than UK suppliers who would charge the same just for the Knocklink without the sensor. Anyone else managed to get MRT to supply Link stuff or know of a cheaper UK source - yes costs of importing and profit margin, but 63 % more expensive than MRT who already take a profit on this price?

John,

My experience of buying from MRT direct is lots of faffing about for a couple of months whilst payment taken on your car straight away followed by some of all of the order not being complete if and when it finally gets here.......

You're better off paying the extra here and saving yourself the effort

Ok. look at it this way John.

£80.00 plus shipping.... Shipping equating to lets say £15.00 from the other side of the world.

£95.00

+ import tax @ 6% adds £5.70 so £100.70.

Add VAT @ 17.5% makes £118.32

Does that still sound desperately unfair?


Mike.
