For the cost difference? Get a Mazda one, fit it, and forget it. Not worth trying to go cheap.

Subject to finding a friendly mazda garage!

I went into our local one and went up to the parts counter and said 'please can I have a standard 1.1 bar mazda cap just like this' parts person said ' part number please' gave her the parts number and said the magic word bongo and got the reply 'we don't sell parts for bongos' :evil: and then refused to suggest an alternative part number :evil: I walked out suggesting they should start stocking bongo parts as there's more Bongo's Stafford they've sold equivalent MPV's! :lol: :lol:

Any advice on a decent Mazda supplier?
