Re: SER1 restoring wiper motor casing

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2004/09/13]

Hi David

Frosts are a company specialising in car restoration/care products and  
are based in Rochdale.

Find them at www.frosts.co.uk

They have the advantage that they buy in a lot of US products that are  
otherwise tricky to get over here, and I've got no idea why I didn't  
think of them before.

We are now implementing a new ticketing system to improve response time  
and
reduce the chances of a request being missed. This does mean a change of
email address, but will help us to help you more efficiently. In future  
we
ask that new job requests be sent to nsmsjobs@xxxx.xx.xx.xx and general
queries/discussions to nsms@xxxx.xx.xx.xx.

Thanks for your cooperation - the NSMS Team.
