It was more of a general comment that the box was rather tired but, that said, there were no extra charges over and above the original quotation.

Cost

David's8,

I've been quoted £400.00 give or take - the part is a little more but the hours a little less - it's handy in terms of location and I cannot fault the service so far!

Cheers
