Title: Where to get a distributor?
Post by: Gloves88 on 06 September 2009, 23:21
So my distributor decided to give up on me over the weekend, not a problem, will just order a new one...

£136!! and thats without delivery and VAT from GSF! Didnt realise they would be that much! Was hoping for around £80ish.

Does anyone know anywhere else I could get one? Ideally need it asap as am using the car every day just now.

Cheers

(1.8 8v GTI)

Gloves - have you tried the guy in Bonnybridge, Richy Low Bay - he's got tonnes of MK2/MK3 parts.

PM me and I can send his number over.

I bought a new distributor for my 16v about 3 years ago for gsf and it was about £160 i think from what i remember,touch wood had no trouble with it since,i think its better to buy thing like this new rather then sod about with secondhand parts that could be f*cked before you have even fitted em.

Yeah they're product and stock levels are great, just a damn aweeful website. I can never find what I want in there but I can walk in my local branch, mumble about some bit I don't know the name of and the guy behind the counter goes "one of these? yeah got loads on the shelf mate."

2nd hand dizzy's can be OK if you know the source. I bought one of a guy who breaks corrados and it was cheap and works fine (Hall sender had gone my valver).
