I need one (not desperately though and i'm skint)... how much are you willing to part with it for to a fellow forum member with a mk1.

A new one from ebay is around £30

Whoever was selling at that price must have been trying to take the p155!... most expensive i've seen is 34.99... but just looked again and saw one go for 50 so they're obviously on the up!

They've been saying that for over a year now.... You wait.. they'll be lots of "last one in stock" sales next.. As far as I'm concerned it's been like this for years...  it can only get worse though eventually!  :cry:
