Share your pain Monty
.
Ordered some spares on a 4-11 day lead time from Italy and they have finally arrived today after 36 long days. One of the parts is a female rod end, when I ordered a male rod end and until I get all the correct items the jobs on hold.
Looks like another 36 day wait for the right part to arrive

Yes especially as I'm expecting the 36days to be longer as I think Italy closed down for August today

Ordered some parts for the car on Tuesday night and they're being delivered today, to replace parts which were fitted 9 months ago. Gone with genuine Honda parts this time, cheaper than euro car parts too.

Can't trust the French...crafty, shifty, itchy feckers they are. Can't trust a government who makes young boys and old men walk around in speedos at the swimming pool at the same time
