[DMCForum] Re: 24valve 3.0 PRV

Hi Martin,

Sounds good, thanks!

Not worried about the AC compressor for a while, it doesn't work 
anyway. Irish air conditioning works just fine (put the window 
down) :) I'll get it fixed someday, but for now its not a priority.

Approx how much for the R25 flywheeel? I'm defintely interested, and 
thanks for the info.

Thanks,
John
