Seem to be the best value but remember that you need a logger to connect to your PC US $117.00 extra they will put it in the same box for freight which is US$150.00 so it mounts up
My price includes logger (usb) and all, it pays to shop around.

Just be prepared for GST at NZ Customs for anything over $500 and new.

Sounds like a nice parcel coming! Just keep buying nice toys and stuff for the DW... LOL

Re: Are we being ripped?

Been a couple of weks since my first query and at least a week since the last one, just not interested unless it is bog standard inventory by the looks of it. Doesnt bode well for any sort of after sales assistance/service.

Like early September? It will be ok if another POM comes out here, you seem to be friendly and not the typical old country union stalwart!

Re: Are we being ripped?

Well this is the best deal I have found for my target acquisition

order.png

Very explicit about warranty, but then it is a change a piece that fails type support so I don't see any issue. Just diagnose and buy the new part.

Dam good price deal though since I am getting a rate of 1.32 at the moment.
