man.. i wished i had a digital camera right now to shut you up haha..
i guess the way to check if the ks are genuwine is to look at your service log book and look where it has been serviced.. also the dates then ring then the place up to see if they have actually serviced it.. they usually have the record somwhere...

[PrahVtec]

haha no logs mate.. u fink i wouldnt haf chekd if i had em... =O

u stil hafnt answer my query tho..

well i think what happened was the guy probly would of had high Ks on the old dials so he changed them.. and maybe he couldnt get the origianl vtir ones or too expensive so he got si ones, if you saw another one with the same dials then its another dodgy basterd selling it.. with si dials... i guess atleast your lucky the engine and shit cheaked out ok.. if it was me i would go and **** him up, dodgy dickhead.
