Searching for cylinder head now leads to being emailed links to this.🤔

A similar thing happened to me when I was looking at a Darrian. But I’m not posting any pictures!

amazon isnt far behind

 

the amazon search can be dreadful, list some specific requirements and it ignores them and list items you really want filtered out. looking for a type 2 to type 2 22kw 32a 5m charging cable yesterday and more than half the results did not match the search criteria, so you end up having to check each time to make sure it's actually what you want, I've on more than one occasion ended buying something that was not quite what I wanted because I'm missed something when trying to manually filter.

Their search engine trys to be to cleaver and I wish they would allow you to force it to make sure it only returned items that met all criteria.

Yep, I've been caught out like that trying to get a tap for next day delivery, didn't spot that nps taps were mixed in with the results! fortunately I realised it was wrong before actually using it and writing off the threaded boss.
