BE gasket set £35.73 +VAT
Piston Rings £19.67 +VAT per cylinder
Thrust Washers £11.68 +VAT
Head Bolts £15.73 +VAT

Dan was saying he paid about £25 for the whole set of piston rings for his F7P.

Also his head bolts for about £7, whereas I've been quoted for the exact same thing £15.73 + VAT

they can't even sell that properly. Inlet and exh man gaskets are both wrong.

Dan said he was trade. I very much doubt he got rings for 25 quid, per cyl maybe.

yeah I know, you can use the exhaust gasket but it won't go onto the megane heatshield thingy right.

Still 25 quid at euro for the thing though mofo, well 25 + vat less than that one.

Dan isnt lying...i get them at the same prices...trade.

They are usually account only...so you may have to do a bit of blagging.
