Hi!
I have seen used ones in ebay cost next to nothing, but if you want new ones i think burton will have those. Not cheap.
Hope this helps

i got 0.5mm over size mahle pistons when i done my rebuild and they cost me £290 delivered, but this was back in mid 07

got them from woodford garage i belive, took a couple weeks to get them though, but ive been told and have heard, rs turbo pistons are no longer made by mahle and getting 0.5mm over size is near impossiable

Thanks for responses chaps.
Missed the boat a bit I think I've now got on order with Burtons +0.5 Mahle's. Should arrive this week. Had 3 on the shelf awaiting 4th... Weren't particularly cheap though, about a ton each IIRC.

Just had a look on Woodford's site. Seems they're now £350 from £450 plus p&p so feel better

got to say fair play to matt lewis, thats a bang on price, infact thats less than i paid in 2005 for mine when they were loads more readily available back then

nice to see somebody not hiking up the prices rediculously as soon as they get wind that they becoming harder to get hold of
