And about £80 shipping (cheap) + VAT + Customs duty (which adds the shipping cost to product value for levying purposes), handling fee from courier company for paying the duty and then the cost of a new transformer and tech to fit it...(120v it would appear) - just keeps ballooning.

I've gone this sort of route, and it's worth doing the sums first... - but as they say, YMMV.
