    Right thanks Mark..We got there in the end...Whew!!
    You never know..I`ll keep my eyes peeled and ear to the ground..
    The one problem here is that local products are not that clever when it comes to saftey ,Nothing is made with a british standard code and very little would deserve one..
    A lot of the machinery here used by local & foreign contractors etc are second hand surplus from countries like Japan and Korea..
    Take motor vehicles for example..The most popular and disirable SUV here is still a Mitsubishi Pajero (Shogun in UK)..They buy them surplus from Japan and then convert the steering and transmission to left hand drive,re spray them and sell them on..When they are finished they look like brand new vehicles..

    At least 70% of vehicles I saw on the road in Cebu, would not have passed an MOT test in a million years.

    Can`t comment on Cebu..
    There is a guy next door to us that does up these Jap exports and anyone of them would pass a British MOT.
    They really do a thorough job before they put them on the forecourt..
    He`s doing one at the moment..When I get a chance,I`ll take some photos and post them here.
