Shouldn't be too hard or expensive to track either a new or 2nd hand one down.

I take it it was a post 95 model! Grotons do replacement inserts which is probably what you need, looking at under $200 or under $300 delivered depending on which one you go for.

That can't be right. I heard that the hideous cost of replacement parts for european cars was all lies, cynically fed by the Japanese car importer/dealers to a willingly ignorant public that laps it up without question.

hmmm, 30 seconds on google and I found it for $US52 !

again, it's not [necessarily] that euro cars are expensive to maintain, it's a result of us living at the bottom of the world, in a market flooded with japanese cars, and as you'd expect an industry that's grown around supporting them, rather than the less common stuff.

Agreed.Buying bits for my euros from overseas is fine.

That seems very reasonable. So it's just a myth about overpriced euro-weenie car spares!

This is turning into a perfect example of how these "Euros are expen$ive" memes work.
1/ someone posts an outrageous part price 2/ a couple of people snigger and scoff 3/ someone comes along and explains that the part is available at a fraction of the price and provides evidence 4/ a few more people come along and join in on 1/ and 2/, totally ignoring 3
