Anyone got any suggestions of a good pallet courier to use to transport a engine and gearbox down south?
All the quotes im getting are about £90, but i think thats a bit much?? Or is that just typical cost?

sounds about right to be fair. Not cheap things shifting them.

yep sounds about right tbh.

Paisley freight are normally good on price (if they do engines/pallets.)

Yeh i usually use Paisley freight. Dont think the provide a pallet service though, only usually large vans.
Will send them a email and double check though.

Cool il give some of them a check, think i may of checked a couple already though.

I have been putting the weight at 140kg for engine and box, is this roughly correct? Its a e16se with F13 box! And a few turbo bits, they dont weigh too much though.
