An alternative to autovaux?  The 2 websites below work at least :)

Anybody used them?

I've had stuff from Vauxcentre through eBay and direct. No problem at all with them.

 

Don't carry a fraction of the stuff that AutoVaux do though.

Make sure it's a genuine one. The distinction between Genuine OEM and allegedly OEM manufacurer replacements gets a bit hazy with all of these people.

It does say 'quality replacement part' so I'd assume not oem.

In which case you may well find yourself having the same problem that every other VXT owner has had with duff level sensor location on non-genuine replacements.

Ring Vauxcentre up and ask them for a price on a genuine one. If you can get past the Essex accent, they should be able to supply genuine bits, just like AutoVaux. Like AutoVaux, they always assume you want the cheapest option and palm you off with non-genuine bits.
