If you don't speak German, the best way to translate the page is to copy and paste the text or url into a translation tool...in my (humble) opinion, Google is the best, as a lot of the others translate into text book German! Look at

http://www.google.com/language_tools?hl=en

I would also ask the buyer how much he is charging for delivery to "Ireland" :wink:

Jim: did they speak english or did you need to translate? i'm interested in this for the future too.

p.s it's the little mods that are sometimes best, stuff that polo fans would notice. :)

Cheers guys, I'm debating reding out the indicator on them, but not sure, I'll fit it as it is and see.

Got a friend to translate what I'd to say and the guy messaged back in English. I've no e-bay account (I'd be dangerous with one!!) so I had to get a mate to contact them.
Only cost E8.60 to post :D
