Do you think the extra fan was like the filter mounted lift pump?

Kind of an after thought because the egg heads in the technical department ballsed up the maths? :lol:

Well, so far I had worked out that the low spec low power vans only had one fan, and the higher spec higher power had two, but if Harry the limited lime only has one, then that theory is out of the window :?

Ah i think you missed the point, they're trying to get upto 250 for a custom steering wheel airbag :roll:

Ukoff mate so what if they are newish, they're no different from a slightly older 1 for 50 quid (production value) it's not a brand new vhs video recording device is it :?

Money for the sake of it imo, i can buy an airbag cover for 80 pounds tho :shock:

Those are the rules of supply and demand, the newer and more desireable a product, the more it will change hands for. If you're content with older technology, or a less desireable product, then you can often buy it for much less. Your choice really :mrgreen:
