« on: 18 July 2007, 18:33:28 »

Genuine part £28.25 +vat. Doing mine at end of week along with long awaited cam cover gasket & leads & coolant change. Good luck, mine should be easier as i will have plenum & wiper scuttle removed.

Changed mine on the 2.6 this afternoon, removed the wiper mechanism to improve access, hardest part is removing the hose clips. Surprisingly easy.
