right, ive tried parcel2go, after i specify that the thing is nearly 6 foot long and over 4 cubic foot volume, they want £50!

Anyone got any other suggestions for getting a windscreen from northern scotland to here?

Well Chris is coming down this way over the weekend, he's about as close to northern scotland where the windscreen is as im going to get, and it's still a bloody long way from him!

is pretty good service email him first and see if you can arange a deal as i think the screen will be over in size but not in weight (maybe sugest paying for to the get the screen picked up will be £20)

try citylink

they will carry something like that, they picked up some side skirts for me from Chris H's place, they delivered a bonnet to Huw that i sold him, they delivered chets suspension that i sorted out obtaining from u know who and it will be a lot cheaper than £50

i think it only cost me something like £30 to get chets suspension over to ireland and about £18 to get the bonnet delivered.
