Engines were tagged and sealed when new, so you couldn't tamper, but even now, if an older roller goes to a dealer, as long as there isn't any sign of obviouse abuse, they will put it right and not charge, then deny there was a fault, because Rollers are perfect, and Rollers stay perfect. And Rollers don't break down. -- Carl Robson http://www.bouncing-czechs.com
