hi mate, if you havnt got sorted yet pm me and i will tell you about import duty

dg_pug106gti · 09-28-06, 02:49

Just to say I ordered one today, sent a message about import charges but not sure if that will be enough.
"182_blue" what else can I do to try ensure I will not be charged import charges?

I am also wondering, I have a transformer in my garage, its a 110v 50Hz and 3000vA (peak) 2000vA (continuous) is this ok to use?
WOuld be great if it is a wee saving to be had

EDITED
Just got an e-mail saying parcel is packaged and is on its way.

Superfast service,

Do you use a darn big drill on that transformer? I'd say it'll be fine being a 3kva

Hi, I'm looking to order the PC from Autotopia.. Is there still a discount code available? Also any particular procedure for reducing Duty?

Thanks for any help

Thanks 182 Blue for your help. My PC arrived yesterday, and today my arms ache from the 6 hours stint on my Beemer! Still havent done the interior tho..!

I got my PC through Autopia just before Christmas and havn't yet got round to getting the transformer. About which I have a quick question.

What is the recommended rating required? The clicky on the first page on this thread is for a 750va item. Is that the one to go for? For the same price you can get a twin socket 1Kva unit though. Would this be worth getting? And is the "16a" the right output?

Flynn · 01-09-07, 02:23

Does anyone know an answer to this? I'm really keen to order my transformer I just need to confirm the rating.

steveo3002 · 01-10-07, 02:17

750 is fine , thats what i have....if you can afford a twin outloot 1000 then its handy if ever you need to run lights or any extras

im not far from colchester btw
