If the Post Office decide that tax is to be paid, they will hold it at the sorting office, leaving you a card directing you to a bill for the tax and that will include their own fee too. So expect to pay VAT on the whole cost (item plus P&P). Funny you should say that , after reading the reply’s from Mo & Red I duly set about trolling the net for a 4000 version , found loads abroad , mostly in Aus but didn’t have much luck here in GB I tried boat yards and the like but couldn’t find one , but my goddaughter married an Aussie in the mob so when I’m able to get hold of him I’ll see if he can buy one and ship , I’m not too up on importing and the like so I’m hoping he is and will be able to help. With regards to Mo & Reds previous comments on revving the bejesus out of a 200TDi , just because it states 6000 it doesn’t mean you have to take it there . Thanks all for your reply’s .

Peaklander Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) Over £135 all up and you are into duty too. Edited April 25, 2020 by Peaklander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HampshireHog Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 I got hold of my mate in Aus and asked him about purchase and shipping etc , he pretty much said the same as you fellas , I asked about getting it over here via his mates in the forces , after much Aussie squaddie bad language he said his side wasn’t much of a problem but tying up with his mates in our forces wasn’t a starter especially with what’s going on all around the world at the moment. I bit the bullet and ordered a 6000 rpm version from Demon Tweaks £125 delivered so not too bad , thanks all once again. To cackshifter , I’m sorry if I high jacked your post . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThreePointFive Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Sorry if I'm too late to save someone some pennies but I just bought a 6K one myself from here: https://www.brickwerks.co.uk/vdo-gauge-52mm-tacho-6000rpm.html £105 all-in and arrived very quickly. I still want AMR5724 but just can't justify it at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 A 4000 rpm rev counter earlier today 😉 I like it because the needle position is usually about the upright position. Shame they seem to be so difficult to source in the UK right now 😕 Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
