Where are you in the world Jon?

If you were local I could do the seals whist you wait, wouldn't charge you anything either

Are you desperate for them? Would the best bet to ask Dave to prep a set then part exchange your set that hasn't been refurbished?

Sounds like good advice !

Dave the reverse psychology never fails  :signLOL:   just kidding !!

Sorry for the slow response on this one.
My partner gave birth to our first child at 12.30 this morning so its been a bit of an overwhelming weekend  :jumpmove:

I noticed in your advert for the S3 rears that the turnaround for them would be 6 weeks so i didnt want to put another job onto you that was never going to give any real financial gain.
Im in Guisborough, North East and have a feeling that your quite a distance from me.

I have got a lot on pal but to reseal some r32 piston housings would take me 4 mins and that includes polishing the pistons, got all the kit here. So it'd be just a case of catching me in.

I'm in Preston Lancs.

Bout 1:30 away

And congrats you have a window of about 4 days until your life will change forever.....spend them wisely!

Like browsing the forum?  . . . . No? Lol

I have had far too much time on my hands for a few years now. I feel I am in for a shock to the system  :laugh:

Cheers for offering Dave, very generous. Having looked at the routeplanner its probably a bit further than i would like to be travelling at the moment.

If i could get hold of a seal kit i could do them myself. Is there a good place to source the seal kits from? Also are the rubber guide bushes and bleed nipples easy to get hold of?
