where did you get the idler?

Like Mr DTM says 'Where did you get the idler?'
Mine was shot last year - Failed the MOT.
Rushed on the net and ordered one from LMF.
Rushed fitting it to the car early hrs in the morning, and took it straight in for the retest... Failed again!
MOT bloke laughed and said 'its worse than before!'
Went to VX and ordered the mounting bracket (not cheap think it was about 65 quid). Few days later it arrived - Only to find that it was the cheap new arm that was causing the problem. >:(
VX wouldn't give me a refund on the mounting bracket (still got it, so if you need one let me know!). And I ordered a GENUINE idler arm.
Fitted it to the car, took it back for the retest, and she passed.
Hence my sig below! >:( >:( >:( >:(
