have you been to GSF in daventry today?

Go to a scrap yard if they cant get you one, loads of different VW ones will fit

I've got one guy I trust to do my car and he's in Birmingham. He's a retired mechanic and he really really knows his stuff and does it all nice and cheap for me :D

Unless you go to the £1000 mark you're going to end up with a mk3 1.8 driver i'm afraid!
