Hi thank you for asking, yes I went to them first, they say they cannot get the original one and said to try using a Lucas one, wasn’t able to guarantee it would be perfect,
Just looking for anyone who has success or failure using different ones, spending £137 plus vat just to see if it is the issue is a little bit difficult, so just wanted reassurance it would work,
I would rather spend more knowing it was worth trying.
So many listed say they fit most cars, This is not st all true, just reading up in it shows me some are not compatible even when they portray to be so.
Thank you.
Forgot to add money is tight as need to spend out on most of the front end suspension, most likely brake parts as well on my other currently used car.
