Ok the dealer has thrown their toys out as I was asking the bloke on eBay to match it, so won't offer any discount. They must have talked So rrp only sorry guys I did try.

I found out that it was a uk dealer network and they are trying to hold the price that got the guy in the us to back down however, I don't think that we could have got enough people together and then the risk of the import duty was large at this amount.

Tbh the postage was only $33 so not much saving... Plus I have to take the risk on the import duty, two would defo push it over that.

I ordered from tuner tools Lloyd was the rep he was good

Ok might not be until the weekend. The car is running a little rough whilst I get to grips with the sc software, until I can get it to the rolling road on the 29th.
The bloke inthe us was good worked out I got the sensor and wiring for free as I didn't get any import duty. The bloke in the uk isthe one who caused all of the issues, well after he found out I was dealing with the USA.

I've managed to get a deal for 5 units inc sensors kit @ £140 each. This is from the UK distributor to 1 address. There would also be a £5 extra for me to post them out. Anybody interested. I'll probibly take 2.

So, what are the actual reviews on this thing like? I have heard Roberts review of a similar, but ultimately different unit - but how does this one perform?
A quick google finds them for sale, but not much feedback on them.

Does anyone know what are the limitations on bringing back 5 of these in a suitcase for example if you was flying back from America?

*Also, how does the knock sensor connect to the unit itself, is it a standard connection or special connection?*

Wiring looks pretty straight forward.

Any pictures of your sensor installation graham?
