    Disgusted with SA Post Office

    I bought a router on Ebay at the end of January. According to the tracker it sat in Jhb for about two weeks before departing for CT on the 23rd of February. I am still waiting. I want to believe maybe the post office uses bicycles or donkey carts because given the delay the package could have...

    Volswager 1,4 TSi engine - any issues?

    If it is the turbo and supercharger model, stay very much away. Wife bought a few month old demo Tiguan 1,4 TSI in 2012. Munched a turbocharger and a set of pistons, thankfully all covered under warranty. This engine has a history of failures if you feel brave enough to trawl the internet for it.

    LP12 upgrade bits in SA?

    Thanks for all the replies, they are much appreciated. I have been liaising offline with Mike (fdlysys) who makes a good point that there are limits to by how much one should be upgrading a Sondek. Otherwise it is no longer a Sondek.

    Would you buy hifi equipment on Ebay?

    Fantastic tips for buying from Germany, thanks Johan. Will make a note of it. The item is in the UK but I will contact the seller to find out who he intends to use as for shipping.

    Would you buy hifi equipment on Ebay?

    @ Tonteldoos: great tips, thanks. As always SAPO is the problem, and was alluding to that's where items grow legs. Will investigate the Aramex option.

    Would you buy hifi equipment on Ebay?

    Thanks - tracking is provided in this instance. Usually I wait for the smudged and crumpled reminder slip to arrive in the post (and driving to a post office which is never my nearest) before collecting. But hey, there's internet tracking nowadays.

    Would you buy hifi equipment on Ebay?

    I am looking at putting in a bid on some hard to find hi-fi stuff on the Bay of Fleas. Not too worried about the quality of the product itself, but am concerned about affirmative shopping by snoopy customs officials along the way. Have any of you done it successfully and would you recommend it...
