To get a new one here in NZ is pricey...VERY pricey, I picked a second hand one up for under a hundy... The part number you need is ERR4254, check prices from Europe, you could get one to your door for $500, new genuine model.

no, the base of the old dizzy needs to be machined to shrink fit to the base of the hei, you reuse the dizzy drive gear from the rover,
very simple job if you can access or can run a reasonably lathe :)
