Dehydration plugs?

Post by leckers » Thu Nov 10, 2016 4:40 pm

Good afternoon -

Has anyone found a sensibly priced outlet for standard 18mm desiccant/dehydration plugs? I need 8, and the prices from a Google search appear to me to be a tad expensive! The best price I've found is $6.80 each, but being in the USA, they won't ship to the UK. E-bay will provide 8 @ £25, but postage @ £42!!! (And there might be customs duty on top.....)

Any suggestions most gratefully received!

LAS are showing stock (AN4062-1) and price is £6.64. If you have a four cylinder engine, four desiccant plugs will be enough, you only need one per cylinder, leave the ordinary plugs in the other plug holes.
