£120 was the price I heard for an original. Don't know if that was with VAT. Shop around the Dealers to see if they're all singing to the same tune.

For the OE Bosch ones?

3rd party ones can be had far cheaper.

David,

Do yours have the correct wiring connector on them (plug and play)?

I paid around £20 more for an OE one from the dealers.

If you do go for a cheaper 3rd-party one, the plug swap-over is really quite easy.

No, it comes on a long wire and we supply an appropriate wiring diagram for you to join it. Soldered is obviously best, then once joined, you have your original plug back into the system. It usually takes longer to get the old one out of the exhaust - no matter where it is fitted - than to solder and connect.

Simple, we sell heaps of them, no complaints or returns............ yet.
