   I need to get a new idle control valve, I've tried cleaning it all out and the throttle body too and it's made a bit of difference but not much, so going to get a new one. My question is where is the best place to get a brand new one? Pug/cit? Eurocrats parts or somewhere similar? I've seen a few on eBay but don't know if I'd trust one, just after a bit of advice really
   
   Thanks!

   I know they are £30 with my trade discount so i would say somewhere between 40-50. Could always go for a genuine proven second hand one mate.
