Schakal, when I get home I'll check me receipts and see which one I bought for mine, cuz it was the right one. I expect somebody will have already answered ur question by then anyway tho

I've given up with GSF and just use www.eurocarparts.com now.

You know you are getting the right parts because you fill in all the details of your car first so everything thats listed is right.

Bookmark it when your on the parts page and you dont need to fill it in again.

Never had any complaints and the delivery is quick aswell

Yeah "E C P" are not bad, use them for some of the g/f's Megane stuff, but unfortunatly for the my 21t its all "dealer only" ..think i can get wheel bearings but thats about it Sad ....oh and a radiator.

Never had any probs with GSF no matter twaht the car or part.

i think its got a lot to do with the staff working in different branches rather than the companies .
2 guys at gsf yesterday did not sound like they know what they are talking about at any point .1 was looking for a rocker cover gasket for a reanult 19 1.6litre 16v Laughing on his computer and he was not very helpfull at all ,if he cant find it he just tells you that they dont do it anymore .

the older fella came in ,looking wise etc . he looked for the spark plugs i wanted for 20minutes on his spark plug cataloque ,he found the bosch equivalent of the plugs acording to the brochure but i told him i dont want them . in the end i kindly have to tell him that i can look for the plugs elsewhere to save him trouble and got my £14.10 back
will check the local motor factors today ,they are not likely to be stocking 16v stuff but they do find it for you .
