Nice find, I wonder how much shipping to the UK is 
I have submitted an enquiry for a rear diff lock actuator to see how much it costs. Looks like you can buy a brand new gearbox from them for £
I have submitted an enquiry for a rear diff lock actuator to see how much it costs. Looks like you can buy a brand new gearbox from them for £2897.52 plus delivery and taxes which sounds very cheap.

Interesting, rear actuator is slightly cheaper than Milners including all duties and handling fees, not that I am after one but interesting comparison. Anyone know if they are trustworthy? Would broaden our part supplier selection and possibly cut down on lead times if they are trustworthy. Also I wonder if they take responsibility if parts go missing.
how did you work out import duties due for that actuator Rob? I checked a few parts, like 80 series door rubbers and they came out quite expensive, which is a shame.

I worked out 4.5% import duty for car parts and 20% VAT on total order value including shipping. Then add £10 or 2% which ever is greater DHL handling fee. Am I missing something? I used this calculator: http://www.dutycalculator.com/ and then DHL charges are explained under "your charges explained" section here: http://www.dhl.co.uk/en/express/shipping/customs_support/duties_taxes.html
Only spent 5 min on this so may have missed something.

That seems right Rob, just wanted to check you weren't going to get stuck with a bigger bill than you expected.

From the amayama quote:
VALVE AIR Toyota 4145060042
Total £261.56
Delivery £19.28
Total order amount £280.84
And from the duty calculator website:
So if you add £10 DHL handling fee it will be £362.17 for a rear 80 series diff actuator which seems cheap. I went for parts delivered from UAE not Japan and was careful to select GBP. Did you select the cheapest country Jon? I have also asked them if they will cover the cost or replacement parts if they are damaged or go missing in transit, will update when I get an answer. They seem to be slow at reply to emails and quotes.
Edit: that is significantly cheaper than Milners, which is £480.00 inc VAT plus delivery.

I probably chose Japan for the delivery time plus not sure what the 35% chance of delays for UAE really means? Next time I need something I will do a proper comparison. Who's going to try them out and be the forum guinea pig?

In the email I got back from them it stated that my order will be released in 3 days. Looks like this lot is happy with the service they are getting from them over the last 3 years: http://www.toymods.org.au/forums/amayama/59512-amayama-trading-introduction.html
Can we get a 10% club discount with them as well?

If not, I'm willing to give it a go.
I want the two u/j's from the front drive shaft, now I think I have the right part numbers but I'd like someone to double check them and post on here.
I also want 2 front cv joints (newer, stronger type) and the newer type flanges (mine is a 1991 hdj81) to allow me to do the upgrade. (Front axle rebuild is on the cards as part of my overlanding build, and I want to keep my original OEM ones as spares so might as well do it now while they are still fine)
I have been playing with the site for the last half hour and looking at reviews for it in Canada and OZ and the feedback seems all good.
So I think I have all the right part numbers jotted down, but I want someone a bit sharper at that than me to post them as well so I know I haven't made a mistake. Its not like I can throw them back in the box and drive to the UAE to change them the next afternoon!!
