I think Ł14 is correct, make sure you replace the little copper washers a the same time.

Well, to be honest, I'm sure that I only paid about Ł8.00 for the last one I had from Ford. Thats why I asked.
I have just ordered on and the Retail Price is Ł17.29 + VAT!!!

Bloody hell!!
Can anyone explain why Fords pricing structure seems to involve plucking a figure from the air??
Surely it can't be right. They just seem to guess.
