Thread: Turners ordering.

Mate, why don't you buy in Australia, I got my new AMC 300TDi head from Australian Landy Imports from Newcastle NSW for around the same price for the same head that Turners sell, Regards Frank.

If i can buy it for about the same price i will, got a link for them Frank ?

I will find there address in the morning, blokes name is Rick and he's from Belmont near Newcastle, also if you go to eBay and type in 300TDi Head there's a few for sale down your way, will post PM to you tomorrow, Regards Frank.
P.S. Found name and web-site Landy Imports Australia

don't seem to have any heads, but give them a call, Regards Frank.

I checked abay and the cheap heads are chinese, i found another UK supplier $960 delivered for complete AMC head, gasket set and bolts.

See if you can get it sent by FEDEX. Normally parcels just over $1,000 seem to get through. I've had parcels marked $1,500 get through customs via FEDEX. When they do get stopped, FEDEX just call you and tells you how much duty is required. On Land Rover parts I've been charged 15% total duty. You just call the local FEDEX depot and pay the duty with your credit card and the item is delivered the next day.

Years ago I bought some parabolic springs from the UK for the SIII and they landed at the airport, and I had to clear them through customs, luckily the guy could see they didn't also need to go though the quarantine rigmarole. From what I've heard about DHL and extra duties, I'd be asking any supplier to send via FEDEX.

AMC is the head that I have, I think if you look into it you will find all of the heads available nowadays are Chinese, there is a plaque on my son's 300TDi head which says it is manufactured for (can't remember name) the mob in Brazil that builds the International 2.8, doesn't give a name though.
A few years back I rang Turners and asked where their heads came from, they said Spain, so I rang the mob in Spain and they said Brazil so rang them and they said China.
You can buy brand new heads from China for under $200AUD each, if you buy in bulk (200+).
Ask the pommy supplier where his heads are manufactured and I'll bet he won't tell you, Regards Frank.

Armada is one chinese head manufacturer that i know of and they are no cheaper than the AMC heads. I assumed the AMC heads were Spanish made, i know Turners sell them as EEC manufactured.
Now this is confusing me even more.
