80 Series Gearbox Solenoid valve

Hey! I have been struggling with the gearbox on the LC for a few weeks. Turns out, after Google and a stripdown that I need the No.1 Solenoid valve located in the bottom of the gearbox.

The lovely chaps at Toyota have a few in stock at a whopping $760 a piece. I am expecting a call from them re a discount. I have seen prices from the US of about US$230.

Have any of you guys bought these elsewhere in NZ/OZ? Your input appreciated!

Cheers, Eddie

. was a few years ago and they were still expensive, but not as bad as Toyota, and they have worked fine ever since.
