Are you going to install yourself mate?

The installation charge of £80 can be easily saved if you do.

all the same brand. all owned by the Alba group which includes,
Alba, Bush, Goodman's, Ministry of sound, Grundig, Roadstar. Also an import company called Harvard Maritime and a group of websites under the name Buy Direct.

Never really had a problem with anything made by the Alba group, I did have problems with a few Goodman's items though, but it might have been before they joined the Alba lot.
