Cam Chain Tensioner

These parts are hideously expensive, but mine's on it's way out.

Can anybody suggest where to find a cheap one? (Cheaper than £300)

Also, anybody who wants to fit it, and earn some money is welcome to get in touch!
I thought Volkswagens were supposed to be reliable?

I'm near Bath, not seen anybody else from this area on the forum yet tbh! I'll look the one up on GSF. Such a b*stard of a part to have to buy though.
