All's well that end's well - as you are right I had the option to say no and I took it. But he did 'get me' on the callout performance of his. Somebody with less confidence might have just also have paid his price for the pump and fitting on top on the callout bill. I'm sure plenty of people...

I agree £100 is alot......but he wanted to charge £160+vat - he said to me that was his cost to him......he needs to change his supplier if he was telling the truth
