My MC28 goes on the boat from Japan on25th January 2014 and will take a month to get here. It's costing about £530

I accidentally bought 2 sets of second hand digital displays. One I bought on a Japanese sort of Ebay broker called jauce, but then my exporter guy bought one on my behalf, so now I have a spare.
Bought a workshop manual on jauce. It'll probably end up about £100 by the time I paid postage and tax. Quite a lot for a book.
