Ah, there was a 2nd hand one on the manx buggy forum $200 but i missed it
really need one like right now, trying to get a few dump runs in before it storms again/still :-( & the kombi is now stuck in my driveway... the
damn thing has stopped right at my time of need :-(
i might just bite the bullet & order one from Castle like Helbus suggests & have it send by express carrier pidgeon, maybe get here monday or
tues :-(
i was just hoping that some one may have found a hilux one or what-ever-one fitted & there was hundreds of them for cheap at my local wrecking
yard for $3 each :-)
obviously not :-(

I would highly recommend getting a Cranky kit.
Bolts straight in and I've never had any dramas with mine at all.

easy to get at any jap wreckers, and quality Japanese electrics.
