Pete I paid £215 plus the dreaded import fee and vat … why oh why did we leave the EU ! .. still superb service and the gearbox was practically brand new .
I just had some parts sent over from Italy for the F3. Delivered by DHL, no import duty to pay...... go figure?

There are some ways round it, the EU are being pedantic at the moment , trying to make a point . Yes, we left, against all the objections . Stuff gets "lost impounded" going out , paperwork delays etc. Incoming from Europe, everybody wants a bit of action, what can we charge mentality.
Order something from China, hell, its here in days , no charges , no customs . Value on the package under described and under valued.
There is all the crap about what can come from the Emerald Isle and what we can not send out there.
Do not blame the English , look at the European attitude.

I agree with you that the EU are being difficult with the UK at the moment over imports. I am sure things will be sorted eventually once the people in Brussels realise it's hurting EU trade as well. We can still enjoy riding the bikes though.:)

Just thought I’d update this tread ..
the new to me gearbox went in a treat but I was chasing an oil leak afterwards… turned out to be the crappy gasket sealant I had .. so box out again and re sealed using yet another brand but with 100% success. Result !
Went out for a Trial by fire kind of test run ended up doing about 180 miles . … seems to be ok no weird noises or oil pouring around my feet so I’d say that’s a good fix .
here’s to another 21000, trouble free miles 😂👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇮🇹
