Wouldn't bother me too much as long as it came with a guarantee of 3 or more years

Not sure on the brands above. But in all honesty I couldn't tell you what's on the car at present

your right but i dont fancy the grief of having to send 15kg back to the seller in the eventuality!! truth be told i dont really understand alll the numbers (i.e. 53A and 340'something' etc etc) so i dont really know what i need, apart from the dimentions (242x175x175?). If i knew that i'd probably just get the cheapest...? anyone can help me with the numbers i.e. whats the minimum i need of everything etc...
