   That's not far off the dealer price - the amount of times I've seen ebay ones fail after a few thousand miles it's not worth the cost saving.

   that was miles cheaper than anywhere i could find. Most motorfactors wanted about £70 each, dealers wanted like £115 each! and i tryed a few citroen/peugeot dealers lol
   they must be unusually cheap on barry island
   
   my ebay ones have been on a year and have been fine
