Given the experience of the past ... wonderful thing hindsight .... genuine only ... it would have saved me over £200 in cash and a rather large amount of time had I gone genuine to start with ... :( and I'm not including the faf over the ABS sensor in those calculations either ... :(

Used the VX part, made by KOYO Japan, as was the part I took off. Very easy job, using my long breaker bar, took me about an hour and a half without rushing. :y :y :y
