Sounds a good idea to fit new parts to your car and then flog off the used and potentially knackered parts on ebay.

Altho!!! - fitted second hand ABS ECU to the Estate recently and then flogged the old unit to a reconditioner for a princely sum!

People seem to think they can sell any old cr@p.  ::)

Might be useful for a fiver if I had a cambelt failure on the drive and I wanted to fire it up for a quick compression test before spending too much, but the title should indicate that it's second hand IMHO.

Then again, add 8.50 postage and even the starting price is a rip off.
