I have an email from him stating this and think absolutely rude and disgusting that as a turbine owner I get this response from him. Before Christmas he said that he would check the pricing on the item and let me know. This past week, I sent an email to remind him and then get a mail that he will no longer waste his time on this. It really boggles my mind. What do I do now when I need to send the turbine in for service? Any help and advice will be appreciated as I can forget about getting anything out of a rude Tony Ratcliff.
I suggest that you try Turbine Solutions in the UK. Paul Hardman is the only likely source of parts if you cannot get them from Wren. As for servicing I would ask Paul about this as well. He has experience of the 44 Heli engine as he used to work there.The Email address is on his web site.
