Repair Costs

The last time we had given a budget indication using USD at +/- 3000.
However since financial policies have since changed we will get fresh
quotes and quote in local currency. We should have quotes sent to you
Friday or Monday latest. It is important to Note that the parts are Ex-
Outside the country and we would then ask for 50% down payment so
we can source Forex. The quote will give the timelines for repairs and
