Stick with a genuine Bosch one, no need for a bigger on unless your going stage 2.

You can get Bosch direct a lot cheaper than the dealers, from memory for the vRS it was about £45 less but what ever happens avoid the ebay ones.

Not sure, I think my Bosch one was recon you get a warranty as well so still has to be a better bet than ebay or s/h  :undecided:
