Hi all,

Checked my distributor cap and rotor arm today and they definitely need replacing, points very corroded.

I had a look on GSF and ECP but they only supply aftermarket 'BERU' products. Can anybody advise about the quality of them?

Going to ask BMW Cotswold for a quote also, other than that can any body direct me to some where selling Bosch products? Can only find on ebay.

As above.

Replaced mine with Beru parts a few years back and faultless service since.

Where did you buy your BERU parts from?

I purchased mine from Motormec when they were based in Lowestoft. They've since been taken over and have an outlet in Norwich but I haven't used them since the change of ownership.
