G'day buddy.

i was perusing your website and found precisely what i was looking for, a
silencer for a 6 cylinder 109 series 3, part number 562737. the only prob is
that i live in Aus. do you do international posting? if so, what would the
price be for just the muffler/silencer. there is only one place here i know
of that sells them but they are out of them and they will be 4 weeks, and
they want about $140 aus for it. the silencer wouldn't be to big to go
airmail would it?

look forward to hearing from you.

Cheers.

Sam.

I hope Sam doesn't mind me using his request as an example, but...

the silencer weighs 6.5Kg with packaging, and an airmail taking 3/5
days would be...............£114.50!!!!!

Which does not include gold plating.

Surface Mail would be *a lot* less but take around 12 weeks. Is that
using Royal Mail Airmail or an air freight service?

there are more reasonable quotes:
http://www.interparcel.com/courier-quote1.php

say it measures l:45cm, w:30cm, h:15cm ; £65.33 DHL 1-4 working days
worldwide.

Still a bunch for a silencer though!

Hmmm, just dont add up does it.
AU$268 + tariff at 5% $13 = $281
Plus GST at 10% on $281 = $28
So all up you pay AU$309.

to ship a parcel I was quoted rather more - so much for employee loyalty

Perhaps because you are an employee they will actually deliver the
parcel and charge accordingly. Just taking it away (which seems to be
their normal practice with our parcels) is cheaper....

Thanks Richard. upon looking at your price for postage, i went down to the
local muffler joint to see what he could offer me. for $165 (about 80 pounds
i suppose) he fitted a new universal muffler and made up a little tail-pipe
for it (i have an exhaust that exits on the side just behind the passenger
door). thanks for the reply Richard, and i'll know in future.

one interesting prob thats come up since getting the new exhaust. it runs
better at load, but it now backfires when decellerating. i am fairly certain
that this is a dodgy exhaust manifold gasket (this wasn't touched when
muffler was replaced though). i'm gonna replace that and see what happens.

Cheers.

Sam.

I had that arrangement on my 6-cylinder (why-oh-why did I sell it!) -
sounds fantastic.

Mine was always a pig to get the timing exactly right on, but when
it was it flew (got pulled at 85mph (in overdrive!) - the copper was
more interested in what engine I had - "And besides, no one would
beleieve me back at the nick")
