Assuming you mean the 1.8TD engine, there are brand new ones here:

tinyurl.com/oj7r7s

for £65.00 plus £10.00 postage.

I would think an auto rewind specialist would charge under £50 if you take it in to them, or you could pay £20-£30 for a used one at a scrappy.

Hth.

are you spanner literate? a recon would be about 45 quid , one from the scrapyard 15 quid .. if you can do it yourself would save another 50 notes to have it fitted

Using caps is classed as SHOUTING and in cyberland it is frowned upon. Please don't do it here. In some less civilised forums forums you would get flamed for it.

Yes, worked out that you're asking 2 separate questions about different cars.
