Craig b,
The spec of the machine & trailer we bought is different to anything I could have bought over here. But a ball-park figure of the closest if we could had got one made over here saved about £4-5000 pounds.
Our smaller machines are all UK bought though.

What happened to the legendary service ? What happens when you get an awkward warranty issue and you need the gear for a big job and nobody else deals with overseas ? What happens when the legend goes sick unexpectedly

If you need a machine quick, give Tech-Clean a call, they will have you set-up and running in 24-36 hours. We've had a Tech-Clean set-up for 3 years now, can't fault it or their customer service.

Sorry to disappoint you BDCS but I am still alive. Was having a cardiac stress test done yesterday in the hospital. I guess not everyone can be a superman like yourself.
Thank you for the order TVCS greatly appreciated

A 4000psi Honda 13hp machine.   With hoses etc and lance. 4GPM ( i think it works out to about 18 lpm.  not sure of conversion), and a turbo nozzel.
 It actually came to £805 and some pennies  in total.

I think you need to add import duty & Vat to that total as a minimum.
The pump will determin the lts per min, but at a guess 15 lts per min.
