    I've bought lots of things from e-bay. never thought of getting car parts for some reason! Its looking good - Thanks.

    When an Omega I had needed a crank sensor, I tried a few places then got one from ebay for buttons. (LMF Vauxhall I think the site was).

    Just find someone that specialises in Japanese or Mazda. There will be one or 2 out there.

    Never tried them, i'll take note.
    Neighbour must work for some sort of car hire/fleet place cause when I was needing bits for the wifes last car, she got them for buttons. Some place in Bellshill.

    theres a dingbro in bellshill so it was more or likely from them. in saying that masterparts in bellshill arent too bad price wise but they buy a lot from digbro aswell! so your just aswell going direct to dingbro, they have trade counters all over the central belt. for good service and willingness to help i would say thier falkirk counter is by far the best.
    ...work permit granted!
