I'm too impatient for service and repair parts off ebay, can't be doing with the (up to) 2 week wait. By the time the auction has ended, you send the money, wait for the thing come through the post and as Niel says there is a risk it might be wrong. I recently bought a V4 complete dizzy over the counter from Mercury Motors for £57.
