Default Parts supplier?

Best place in Essex at a reasonable price. I'm after a knock sensor for the wife's sport special. My usual place have two sources. One is £70 one £100. Needless to say the cheaper source are out of stock and will be for 6 weeks!
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Thanks Paul.

  3. Late teens early 20's motorbikes and/or tatty barely MOT'd sheds.
  4. Sensible family sized auto boredom car.
  5. Kids have moved out "me time" car aka Scooby.
  6. a) Sensible frugal future proof retirement sized slightly boring everyday car.
    b) Fun in the sun retirement motorbike cos the juices haven't quite stopped flowing yet.

Haha cheers boys, Mark that's a useful chart I think you should copyright that lol
At least I'm keeping my scooby so let's reflect, we're keeping the turbo scooby and selling the non turbo for a turbo diesel that's lets be honest will probably have more power haha.
John he's doing great thanks, a bit of colic but no cause for worry. Hoping Becky may bring him to the pub meet for a bit.

My little 1.7 intelligent 4x4 oil burner has a lowly 130PS @ 4000rpm and 300Nm (221 lb.ft.) @ 2000-2500rpm but makes up for it by doing 50 mpg Urban, 62 mpg Extra Urban and 57 mpg Combined plus only £100 tax disc. Lifetime 100,000 mile warranty as well.

Prefer this though and only £20 for a tank full of fun in the sun.





Not quite a NUR Spec S but quite rorty on a V twin.

No more mods.
