Default Idle control valve

Does anyone know of anywhere that would have an idle control valve for a MY03 Impreza STi Type UK? (other than a main dealer)
Do you think it would be worth trying to get one from a breakers?

Cheers,

Steve

I'm in the same position bud, got mine off and soaking it in some isoprop, petrol might be better, if you take it off and give it a good clean out, theres alot of carbon build up in them.
MAKE SURE you have a new gasket £6 from dealers before you start as you need to have them sealed correctly when fitting it back on.

Very expensive from the dealers, give the cleaning a go before you buy a new one.

Thanks Ricey, it's been off and cleaned fully, de-carboned etc.
Price from the dealer is over €500+vat so hoping to source one somewhere else.
I'll let you know if I find them cheaper somewhere else.
