Petrol tanks (again...)
|
So, roughly how many arms and legs will I need to pay to a breaker to
get a replacement petrol tank for 13-year-old bike?
And how many more limbs will he want for one whose underneath doesn't
resemble a sieve?
(Note to self: if your wife tends to leave her bike standing for long
periods of time, make sure it's got a decent amount of fuel in the tank.

Blimey. =A38.50 for a sound one that just needs repainting. There you
go, then. Cheap!
