The ones from Halfords are oscillating buffers, so can't see how they wouldn't be any good or worse than another orbital/oscillating one from another manufacture.

Because they are poorly made. The decent ones such as the megs and the PC are well weighted with correct speed settings.

Just because ebay engine mods are cheap and look the same as expensive parts doesnt mean you use them does it!

Ditch the woolies one, about as useful as a chocolate tea pot!

That price is just the machine including postage.

However I would match £139.99 posted (don't know how much clean your cars postage is)

There was a thread on another forum I go on and someone on there said he worked for a company that sold orbital polishers mail order and they were haveing a faulty megs one back at least once a week and he recommended the Kestrel one which is why I put the link for that one up, as said would like to hear what others think although I've hear'd that the Porter one is the best all round.

Think the Megs problems have been solved with teh second generation. I have the Kestrel one and really need to use it...
