[QUOTE="sahara, post: 5837986, member: 76228"] I had a similar experience a few years ago. A rotary hydraulic coupling on our NH combine failed and needed fixing quickly, a call to our local dealer and I find out that its just under £300.00 + vat. Being a bit stunned I didn't order it then and there (it wasn't in stock), the store man said if I wanted it for tomorrow then to let him know by 3pm, as that when the cut off time was. Looking at the thing, no bigger than a C cell torch battery, I could see the manufacturers name, a quick google and I find that they have a UK division. A call to them and a very helpful and intrigued chap at the other end gets me the same thing in the post (lucky timing!) for the next day for a little over £100.00! It duly arrived, it was the right item, and was fitted and is still working today. I went back to the dealer and the store man was actually very sympathetic, saying that at the price he quoted was the price that they were charged by NH. My grumble went up stream but to what effect who knows! [/QUOTE]
