Don't buy a cheap one. Where are you based? Someone might be able to help you out.

Ermmmmmm, I take it that you didn't like my previous answer so decided to ask somebody else? - http://forum.rs246.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=99510

Trups even said exactly what I said pretty much, in an exact copy of this same thread! - http://forum.rs246.com/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=99197

I try not to be arsey but am finding it perplexing that you don't seem to be reading any of the replies to the same question that you are posting?

Feel free to actually reply to this thread ;)

Wonder if Baku would mind us handing out an FO to this timewaster?

Infact, I would like Baku to do it aswell! Come on Baku, come on Baku, come on Baku

What happened to the N at the end of that dear?

Perhaps not a timewaster mate, could possibly not have "send an email when replies are made" or summat? Have to give some benefit of the doubt I reckon.

I am not sure if the hotlink to the vaj scanner is being put in each time by the OP as a spam or if it a legitimate paid Sponsor hotlink put in by Phil.

FO applies to those who are like the above. FON is given to those who we want to stay on the forum.

24 hours has been given for benefit of the doubt.
