BLACKBOB 9 Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 Most silverline stuff are guarenteed forever and it usually says in the sticker, problem is you spend more time taken the shite back for the replacement than its worth. Its a bit odd though as some of their stuff aint that bad. Cheers bob Quote Link to post
