I have no idea if the part is rare or expensive but have you tried calling a uk OPC?

I have tried a few dealerships but my goal Tomo is to contact Reading.

I know a few dealerships around my way are a tad useless. Not by there knowledge but getting back to you smile

I have cross reference facilities at work, will check in the morning and edit this post with an update.

Peter

Edit - no luck on the cross reference tables, so not available to the aftermarket (was hoping TRW or Lemforder would have supplied the part to genuine.)

Oh wow. Thanks Pete.

Any help is better than no help.

Sorry I assumed from your post you were based in the US.

No, I'm based in England near Bath but will take the part with me back to LA.

I just got back from there and have a list of stuff to purchase before I head back.

Go to Gaudin for RRP and a discounted price. Their shipping is dear though; roughly 10% of the order value regardless of weight/size. Try Sunset Imports and you'll get much the same price for the part but a much fairer shipping cost, particularly as your order value mounts up. That said Sunset's website looks to be down at the moment but it is 4:00 AM in Oregon.
