Good old sensor question, best place to obtain one, rear one needed, main dealers or are the ones on flee bay ok, they say genuine, but is that eBay genuine, or genuine genuine.

Partsgateway, just don't buy from raw spares

good old sensor question from me too. issue has come back (last time it went away on its own.. )

checked with the scanner, its the front right corner and i disabled the front for now.

want to get it fixed... before mrs manages to reshape a corner!

entered an enquiry in partsgateway just now. awaiting quotes.

also any reliable ebay sellers anybody knows about for this part? or any other sources.. other than the stealers pls.

nobody has replied through partsgateway with any quotes so far.. i sent in the request last night.

is that normal? .. doesn't seem to be?

Have you logged into parts gateway and reviewed quotes?

yeah there were 16 responses, all with 'does not have the item(s) in stock.'.

maybe cos i didn't provide the part number last time. entered another search today.

also entered into another site i've known from before - breakyard.com.

lets see what comes out of both..

last option is fleabay, but mostly non-oem which is not a path i like to go..

Pretty common part so will probably need correct number

someone will point you the right way but rover ones are the same and cost £22 brand new

If it's a straight one you're after i just got one from here.

It took just over a week to arrive, so far works fine.

what happened here? raw spares has quoted £30 +vat! no other quotes so far...

heres what i can see about them?

Noooo don't touch them, took 3 weeks of constantly ringing them to send a sensor, finally sent it and it was wrong, then took nearly two more weeks after chasing daily to get the correct one which eventually arrive but was painted silver, I gave up and just sprayed it myself.  There rude when you ring them and don't sound like they can be arsed at all, and you'll never get a return call from them.
There older feed back reflects what I'm on about.

cheers mate i took your advise.

given that its a 'non critical' component and only raw spares quoted i went the fleabay path.

part came this week and i fixed it today. front pdcs back in action again. (mrs didn't get a chance! hehe)

here's the seller if anybody else wants to buy a facelift front corner pdc.. seemed a decent seller - sent me his phone number as well in the post in case i had trouble fixing it - which he didn't have to, i didn't need it though..
