    New pick up

    All commercial vehicles are the same BIK, doesn't matter what the spec is. They are fixed rate so doesn't matter if you have a Ford Fiesta Van or a Fully specced Wildtrack you will pay the same.

    Who would refurb a Smiths Oil Gauge?

    There are no genuine Smiths gauges like that for under £40 on ebay, as I said I want it original. The company in question restores gauges to a high standard and are well known for it. Just £400 is a bit out of my budget!

    Kv number 8

    Used to do the same when I was on farm. The hassle with non genuine KV was unreal, total junk most or it, not wearing evenly and poor bolt holes.
