There is a fair geographical spread of sparks on this site and i was wondering what is the difference in what we pay for materials across the country.

Will dig out average costs on the listed items and post them soon.

Regarding the add on:
Assuming you have visited the site and made a list of mats, then either visited or telephoned the distributor and collected the parts, 20% is now becoming a minimum to cover the cost of your time and your fuel. In this area 25% is becoming the norm.
