Thanks Andy.

Auzoom, have you made the payment yet?
I've not received a PM from you yet.

For your Denso plugs
AUD $161.3 plus local shipping
add $5.50 for regular
add $7.70 for express

If you have done so, just ignore this courtesy reminder.

Andy Wana 07-28-2008 07:22 PM

Gentlemen, the spark plugs order had been placed.
I am still waiting for a couple of payments to go through though.

Andy Wana 07-29-2008 01:51 AM

I called up one of the Mazda service centre a moment ago to ask about my upcoming 36mth/60,000km major service ...
The plugs did come up in the conversation and they are priced at $200 per set (1 leading, 1 trailing)
Give yourselves a pat in the back, gents ... you just saved 75% off RRP for the spark plugs.

enforcer 07-29-2008 02:48 AM

Andy...PM with confirmation of bank details and receipt no sent. Thanks for your help....75% is a huge saving, as they say, "We're laughing all the way to the bank" :lol:....much appreciated.

Argh....spewing I missed this.

I usually only check the .AU forum, and was questioning there a couple of weeks back about the shipping cost of spark plugs.

Oh well.... you guys are getting a pretty good price..... looks like I'll be paying the full $67 shipping cost....

:banghead: :banghead: :banghead: .... must check all forums, must check all forums.

Andy Wana 07-31-2008 07:44 PM

Gents, at this point in time the ETA for the plugs is 7 August 2008

matt13b 08-01-2008 01:19 AM

No worries thanks for that.

Andy Wana 08-05-2008 08:32 PM

Gents, UPS had informed me that there is a delay for the shipment due to the Olympics.
Rescheduled delivery is 11 August 2008. Not happy, but at least they are already cleared by customs and in the country.

auzoom 08-05-2008 09:17 PM

Thanks for the update Andy. Also explains where my coils are :(

matt13b 08-06-2008 01:46 AM

No worries,thanks..

Andy Wana 08-06-2008 10:01 PM

Auzoom, can you PM me your postal address?

enforcer 08-07-2008 02:29 AM

As long as they keep us in the loop, and we can keep track of them I don't mind. Not like the crap Daedan from Eurocars gave me when they lost my bloody mats...

Andy Wana 08-07-2008 04:02 AM

Gents, keep an eye out for the mail. :)
I've shipped ze spark plugs out ...

Henley 08-07-2008 08:48 AM

Unfortunately no at this moment, Henley.

enforcer 08-12-2008 02:02 AM

auzoom 08-12-2008 07:47 AM

Got mine too Andy. Cheers. Now lets see if the Water Pumps get through as quick :(

Andy Wana 08-13-2008 03:39 AM
