I dont think I have on this forum but on another. Question or challenge the mods, compare the forum to another or question the draw backs of the software used or when people ask such questions as "I'm collecting my brand new car tomorrow will the dealer tell me what all the switches do" and you reply, "ask the dealer" it can all lead to a temporary suspension and a never ending warning. I could unsuspend myself if I accept the warning but I cant be bothered, the forum is no where near as good as this one. macafee2 |

Its barely worth importing a car now from GB as will be hit with duty and vat on top of the price. And that's with the vat already been paid on a 2nd hand car. If I import a car from EU, no charges but cars 99% LHD !! Brexit bad for business for all. |

I read your post and I'm surprised nothing has been done yet. At the very least it needs moving.
How many forum rules have been broken here?

I think if the thread is to stay on the forum, it should be in this section. This is because it makes members aware of potential pitfalls in going about their car parts purchases as they may have done in the past. It therefore contains useful information which is pertinent to this section. The other aspect is whether there is sufficient political content in the thread for it to be removed from view altogether. That is a value judgement which only the forum management can make. I suspect they will always get it wrong in someone's eyes. But, the above should not stop you from highlighting the thread to the forum management with your own views on it if you so choose. |

Same for me on the other side of the Channel for a cabby hood lifter ordered at RimmerBros. The amount of taxes is absolutely eye watering: for an item £93.27 worth (without British VAT now) plus £15.85 shipping, I've to pay a surplus of 47€ (£39.69)! Despite my good maths - 20% French VAT of £93.27 gives £18.65 only - UPS dare to demand £39.69 that is an extortion of £21.04 more for... nothing actually understandable! Hence for an item of £93.27 worth the grand total actually paid is: £148.81 at home! I'm gutted...

Thread closed. Yet again, there are dozens of places to discuss politics. Not here.
