moi?
Would I take another cheap shot at you buying a box you thought was close ratio but isn't??? After all the hurt and embarrassment you have already suffered as a result of being so wrong ???
Huh!... I resent that sir! I would never be so mean!

Funny thing is, what you're saying is technically defamatory about the seller - you're saying he sold me a pup, or somehow misrepresented the position about the part he sold....
He was such a nice chap (with loads of cash for a lawyer).. .I'd hate if he were to find out about your comments Dave

As far as I am aware mr Lawyer sir.... the chap in question sold you a 111s box which you
thought was a cr box therefore I would suggest the error is on your part and not his*....
stick that in your pipe and smoke it!
*disclaimer.... most of what I say is 100% pish and should be ignored!

benchmark price is about £350 mate - I put mine up for sale at that price and had about 4 enquiries in the first day. much more than £400 and people shy away unless really desperate

£200 ish i reckon?!
To be fair though youd probably get a silly amount if sold on pistonheads.......
edit: I stand corrected!
