I just got one from
http://www.gsfcarparts.com/
Along with a couple of strut return pipes and clips.
Worked out half the price than what I could have got from the local source in NZ. Exchange rates pretty good against the pound even in Australia.

And if your lucky you might get 12 months out of the strut return pipes unless you were lucky enought to be supplied genuine ones.

GSF tell me they are NLA.. hmm, another phone call in order I think!
Smokes lots, because enough's enough already!
Far too many BX's, a bus, an ambulance a few trucks, not enough time and never enough cash...

In the salty UK road conditions thats probably true.Defender110 wrote:And if your lucky you might get 12 months out of the strut return pipes unless you were lucky enought to be supplied genuine ones.
The roads are not as corrosive in Australia or New Zealand due to not having the wintery problems experianced by the UK.
Besides that they are over half the price anyway.
