oh right, in which case its a digifant with a bosch distributor (like mine), but if you go to any motor factors and give them the year it should come up with the right one. got there in the end!

Well that what i thought. gave them the year etc and they said it could be one of 2 but didnt have a clue on how to find out. have looked around on the site and it seems to be a sketchy topic really.

Take the old one off, if it has 'Bosch' written on it or the Bosch logo you know which one you need :)
