1 - will it fit
2 - what are they worth 2nd hand?
1- unlikely but it might help if we knew which one? :roll: :D
2- around a £100 -130
He's in LA at the moment and won't hit home until mid December so may as well buy new...

I'll consider anything under £300. Anything more seems a bit overpriced for what it is.

i know what you mean i nearly had a heart attack when i saw the prices luckily mine already had one fitted , the hyper pro fixing kit on one site was £160 alone !! ffs .
Like Luke said Ebay's probably your best bet they do come up cheep from time to time even if you end up buying a second hand one & having it serviced.
Wheres RoBBie from off the old site when you need him , he used to scower Ebay & post up the cheep stuff in the for sale section bless him

Let's say you'd been searching for a steering damper for yours for around 6 months, you finally find it and hope that not many people know about it, someone then puts a link on the forum about it and now you have an extra few hundred people that know about it
