what's the preferred option?

Doc Mini recommended to me the Bosch B35Ri/45Ri/30CRi. All good until recentlyand I wanted to replace the full set but nowhere round Wollongong seem to have the buggers!

Should I persist and order somewhere online if I can find em, or is there a decent alternative for a 998 with an electric dizzy?

taaa

I found Repco had a better range of Bosch.
Nobody seems to refill the Supercrap Bosch racks when they run low on some lengths... :roll:

I find my local 2 ripcos don't carry Bosch plugs or leads anymore..
Its either NGK or Champion with them.

Took me a week to find some Bosch plugs.

I'm pretty sure it was Repco, it was a while back though.
How about autobarn??

Or it that doesn't work for you, I sourced some Bosch leads from SparesPro as local Rapeco, Supercrap, Autoburn were useless -

www.sparespro.com.au

Service was good, fuss free, and postage was fair too.

Other thing that annoys me when chasing a particular part number at the local bandit shop is the clown behind the counter wants to know what vehicle it suits. I used play the game and say mini, then I would get this "expert" behind the counter telling me what was best for my mini, you know, the ones that I've only been playing with for over 40+ years. Now I don't tell them what the vehicle is cause they all think it is that BMW junk and try to get them to simply tell me whether they have that part in stock or not. I know these guys, for the most part are just trying to be helpful, but when you know what you want and have the part number, it doesn't EFFING matter what the EFFING vehicle is. Sorry, end of rant.
