Been another 2 weeks mate and you still have not filled your end of our deal we made 6 months ago! Deal is a Deal. I helped you out by posting my end of the deal quickly before you posted yours just so you could get your car on the road again. you have not bothered in 6 months to post the diff cent back to me as per the swap.

Please get onto it as you are now holding up my build.

thankyou
Jason
