I’m in the UK. Simple to work out the postage cost and add it to the price.
As the forum rules state you should give a clear price I would like you to publish it on here. Thank you.
If you are not prepared to make this clear statement of price then I don’t think your advert should be considered valid.
@sp3ctre , @Mr Tidy , am I correct in my assumption?

This is correct, price discussion should be on the forum, not DM

Thank you.
OP, I am not understanding why you will not put the price of the items clearly on here? So still contravening forum rules.
It is common practice to put ‘plus postage’ as everyone understands this will be a variable.

The kit for both side rebuilt kit is 240USD + postage that varies by your area

The CNC end cap is specially designed that the oring groove sits higher then removed stock end cap so that make sure that the rebuild will seal 100%

And everyoneof them before shipping will be pressure tested in special tool that simulates the e85 hydraulic cylinder.

It doesn't work that simple, the logistic price changed depend on how remote they determine, and there's tax differences.

I disagree. You should be able to define the exact price of the component. It is the delivery costs that will change.

From reading about this on this forum it seems to be a predominantly US issue. Very few seem to fail in the UK and we can still find good condition replacements on the rare occasions they do fail: for around £100 the pair. No doubt over time more will start to fail but for now it appears the price of the rebuild kits would probably put off UK buyers.

I've read those posts. Since UK Z4 owner often have more damaged at the connector that has pin hole leaking failure why would they need to buy this kit? It's not for them. Not forcing anyone to buy this kit, it's just an alternative option to send it to shops like top hydraulics and save some money when you have the ability to do it. There was ZERO option like this and NO ONE has ever shared the rebuilding process for FREE. Anyone that is confident enough can try sourcing those seals and bolts which the specs are already shown in the video and reuse the end caps, however, the reused end cap will have high chance that they will leak.

Calm down old chap, never suggested you were forcing anyone to buy them, simply preparing you for the fact that the UK market may be limited and this forum, despite its recent global expansion, is still predominantly populated with UK owners.
