Thanks toptobottom,
I would love to chat with you in the afternoon, I shall pm my number and we chat then.

I have just spoken to Rene in Heli Holland, who was the original owner of this machine. He said the basic inspection is €30k, and we should get out for under €40k if there is no problems like the MRGB. He said the MRGB issue related more to those left outside for any extended periods. The tail rotor drive shaft was also a €7k maybe he mentioned.

I asked him about the module 1 & 2 which is the 15 year item, and he said a calendar reset is possible by doing the seals and the bearings. A full engine overhaul could cost from €75k to €200k+. The reset he mentioned, which is subject to minor contest from some shops, is only half that.
