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.

Have you got a link to a site? Sounds like I need to investigate

Cheers guys did see some from europe but was kinda hoping not to have to spend 5 hundy.
Do you have a link for the hei ones they sound ideal.

I actually read this a while ago but didn't look into it, as I purchased a 2nd hand unit......

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
