HI,
My missus dads 6N Polo has been playing up recently and we've traced the problem to the spindle that the rotor arm sits on.
I'm trying to find the best/cheapest place to buy a new distributor cos i dont want to pay the stealer prices!
Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance
Floaty

my rotor arm was squeeking like a good un the other day - is that the same problem, or not? i soaked it in the magic wd40 and all is fine, but i guess that's just a simple problem!
