After having some intermittent brake light failure and some research i found out this is common on the earlier mk4's rang the dealership for a quote on a Brake light switch. And when the bloke said to me $80 i almost fell off my chair! now i thought this cannot be right. it's a dam switch ffs! decided to ask my father and he pointed me to Imparts French's forest. rang up gave the VIN and boom $8.65 + $10 Postage. Happy days! Anyone had a similar experience where some asking around has saved you quite a bit? as a 17yo with low income that's awesome.

Highly recommend Imparts, know their stuff & at really good prices.
