IMHO stay clear of them mate......total rip off ! Both Kevin and I have had issues with his prices ie £56 +vat for one head gasket......get a full gasket set including heads posted back to the UK from the US for circa £80 you do the maths.....plus 90% of the components he listed that i required were incorrect for my engine nice bloke not so nice with his fee's

go direct to Mac vanpelt who Belcher gets his stock from........save yourself a massive wedge of cash matey

never had a problem with them, at one point they had genuine carrier exhaust silencers at £10 each. 21 stud head gaskets were £15 each. the list goes on. They have the kit, best to visit and get a deal.

What about http://www.nordianservices.com/?

I have not done business with them directly, but the rebuilt 24-stud V8 in my F15A comes from them. It runs beautifully.
