a snowcap is completely useless in the uk!
it covers the heater intake on the bonnet, to stop snow and such getting in the fan.
also looks rather nice!

It's not that hard

Type your email address into the field at the bottom of the page and put in a bid. Email the seller too (button in the top right hand corner) and ask nicely if he's prepared to post to the UK and accepts PayPal. Job done! If the seller speaks English, he'll reply, if not, he doesn't have to accept your bid and can sell to the next person in line ...

No probs!
Bear in mind postage to the UK might be quite high, and a snowcap is long ...

My experience of Marktplaats.nl as a non-Dutch speaker is, let's say "mixed". I get about a 50% response rate when I ask a question in English, which I guess is OK (try speaking English to a French Ebay seller, and you'll get a 0,5% response rate

)Then, there's no feedback system, which is not so cool for buyers, and many things are "pickup only" which is fine when you live in a small country like the Netherlands, not so good when you're trying to locate a rare part from abroad ...
But I've met some interesting people by using it, and got some nice parts too
