Ok, so many will know of my troubles with small engine mechanic shops over the last 9 months, which has led me to doing the work myself and buying parts online.
Of course, buying online doesn't always go as smoothly as you would hope. At least I didn't have to deal with a grumpy store owner.
In this case, the replacement fuel tank I ordered for the Rover Combat has only just been shipped, with the order placed on the 6th of March.
Being an earlier Quantum, it uses a different tank design to the later units. As such, the aftermarket doesn't make one, and the ONLY one I could find being sold from an Australian vendor was a Briggs & Stratton OE part. Fine, I stumped up the $157 for one...............

Except, they don't clearly state that while the part is orderable, but not actually in stock and therefore is backordered once they take you money! And then, when they do get the part, and sent it out, they put the part on sale, cutting the price by 30%.
