Sold the turbo and seeing what the C20XE can do!

Near Lincoln

I sent a head on the 2nd june and it hasnt arrived at is destination yet. there is no way of tracking standard parcels even though when you post you get a unique parcel code *oh well*

its considered lost after 3 weeks of the sending date apparently. Pain in the ass, first parcel out of many that ive had go missing, hope it arrives as its a turbo head, how the hell can they loose that?!?!

I've had a parcel go missing before a ?100 pair of sidi Motorbike boots.

After 2-3 weeks filled out a claims form from the post office.
about 3 weeks later I recieved a cheque from the post office I then I paid back the ebay buyer of my item

If it's only been sent First class might only be covered for about ?30 ish unless additional cover was taken out

its covered to ?30, only went for ?40 so im not that fussed about that, its just a pain them loosing stuff!

All standard parcels have to be signed for anyway, thats not the problem, plus they're all insured upto ?30ish so obviously you only need to make sure its enough for your item.

Oh well, fingers crossed it turns up feebs!

i thought they had just lost my ?200 pistons, luckily it was just the person being stupid and it was right under her nose :)
that is the first trouble (if you can call it that) that i have had with royal mail

hi guys. minis gone to pot. Took off all the intercooler pipes etc and fitted the bottom one the right way round, but i cant find any of the studs, nor the top pipe for the plenum chamber anywhere. Ive had to connect it back how it was. Going to have to just get the intercooler on, might as well do it properly first time anyway. Waste of 2 hours, and another week off the road, but will be worth it. Think iains gonna have a look when he comes over saturday for intercooler ideas.

Ive got my A level exams this week, so wont be able to get on with it until satuday anwyay. I cant get to giallofly though at all, not going to be able to its my only means of transport. Anyway that you could still post it up? Hopefully will get on with it this sunday and get most of it done thats all.

not going standard! Need my dump valve in place and running. It needs tuning up too, so might as well get all the bits on first, the metro ran pants.

Looks like im going to have to buy a new intercooler, theres no way i can get to johns. Wish i knew you was going to give it to him in first place to be honest i maybe could have planned ahead, not to worry whats done is done.
