That doesn't look terribly new.

I'd suggest buying the correct, new part to replace that - a secondhand one might well leak when fitted and that would be a massive waste of time!
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Ive got another one lined up for £20 which is 30 quid cheaper than a new one. Hmmm should i risk it...
