   I need a new rear axle for my 02 VTS. Can anyone recommend anywhere that supplies reconditioned parts? One on ebay for £365 + P&P but thought that seemed steep?
   
   Cheers

   Luck of the draw with second hand ones.
   
   May get one which lasts 3 years, may get one which lasts 3 weeks.
   
   Buying propper a recon is £300+ but will last a lot longer than any second hand beam you buy.
