Hey folks, Just got a Beta HPE 1600 from a mate in the X1/9 owners club, who'd had it tucked away for years.I've got it MOT'd and serviced,along with a timing belt and a brake overhaul. I've also just fitted E30 BMW projector style headlamps,and have sent off my tailgate struts to be regassed.Still a few jobs to do, but it's now in daily use! From: Berlinaboy Sent: 31/10/2008 Welcome! And happy Beta ownership What age / spec / colour is your HPE - any pics to post?? Andy From: Tiff-x19 Sent: 01/11/2008 Thanks Andy!, I've put a few pics up in the albums, not taken too many yet! Tiff From: glovebeast Sent: 09/11/2008 Hi Tif Can you tell me where you sent the struts to be re-gassed? Cheers From: A1-6HPE Sent: 09/11/2008 Stunner - nice in white :- ) From: Tiff-x19 Sent: 09/11/2008 Yeah, here is the E-Mail I got back. Dear Tiff Thank you for your enquiry. New struts are available at a cost of £46.29 for the pair delivered (£15.95 per strut plus £7.50 carriage and VAT), are covered by a two year guarantee and are available on next day delivery. Some struts can be re-gassed depending on their condition so a visual inspection by us must be made in order to assess your struts, which is free of charge. If you try a re-gas and it fails within the warranty period we will discount the cost of the re-gas from new gas struts purchased from SGS Engineering. A re-gas is £32.29 delivered for the pair (£9.99 per strut plus £7.50 carriage and VAT) and struts are usually turned around within three working days. Payment can be made via credit/debit card and you will be contacted for payment once your struts have been tested. If you require a re-gas please send your struts to: SGS Engineering (UK) Limited Unit A6 Cranmer Road West Meadows Estate Derby DE21 6JL Telephone: 01332 298 126 Fax: 01332 366232 Email: andy@sgs-engineering.com Web Address: www.sgs-engineering.com If you have any questions or would like to place an order, please don’t hesitate to call. Kind Regards Andy Wyatt. SGS Engineering (UK) Limited From: Berlinaboy Sent: 09/11/2008 That's a coincidence - I've just received back 6 Beta saloon boot lid gas struts that have been re-gassed by SGS Engineering. I can't speak highly enough of their service. Fast ( the struts were back to me, regassed within 4 days) very helpful and friendly, and I thought very reasonable. I'll let you know how long the regassing works for, but on saloons, even when the cars were new you were lucky to get a year out of them! Andy |
