    Rushing for Rockingham - is this the correct part?

    Hi all,

    I've replaced the noisy vvt sprocket, and also got the newer solenoid to replace that.

    The profile seems slightly different on them, obviously the shiny one is the new one

    Can anyone confirm this is the right upgrade solenoid as it does look a little different to the older one?

    Thanks.

    I am presuming you took out the old s14 one and are putting in a brand new one. The new ones are the s15 style revised design. It's meant to be better so don't worry and stick it in the hole

    Great thanks, going on now, sprocket already on.

    Aircon radiator on, so that's just brake fluid, diff oil, regas and MOT and we are ready for Rockingham

    I went and picked it up from them in Huntingdon Beach in LA, was equivalent of about £90, but they post for not much more and mark it up best as possible to avoid duty.

    Sounds like a proper MOT place! if only they were all the same.
