Autodoc operate in france I believe - www.auto-doc.fr

Much easier to use the app than the website, give it a bash. You'll have to pay extra for express delivery I bet.

I'd happily use autodoc, but you have to enter card details prior to establishing delivery date FFS.

Do you have a physical address in France? Plenty of places will deliver, even UK suppliers.

Just Google the p/n

Have you tried the local parts places? Dijon has a pretty big industrial region and there's quite a few listed: https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&a...

Uk will take days to deliver, I've been stuck here for days now. Everything closes 12 - 2pm, I've got an armoury of numbers to call but somewhat stuck if none of them speak english at all, though I have found one or two englsh speaking people in the village who may help..

Type what you want to say into Google translate, and then show them your phone. smile

If you go to eBay, there are German suppliers who have the part. They'll get it to you in less than 'days'. smile

I've found one, for collection tomorrow morning in Dijon.

Ideally I could do find one today, otherwise I have nothing to do. Gearbox is out, ready for new stuff. Spent too many days wasting away herem
