Actually, I'm in south Freakin' Yahoo, USA (Arkansas :-)We have lots of heavy equipment and truck diesel injection shops around here, and overhead is not near as high as most places (there are certain advantages to being 20 years behind the rest of the country), and most of these Bosch diesel injection parts interchange with ones that are used on assorted tractors and dozers so they keep them in stock . (as opposed to the Volvo dealer, who if they would even bother looking, would probably charge about $300 for a new one)

Around here the dealers carry nothing ( for my '90 gas burner either) so buying any new parts usually means waiting 3-7 days for them to order it, and 2 trips to town.So,
I still get most of my diesel stuff new from gapa though, because they will overnight it via Airborne and the cost is still far less than anything around here and it saves me 2, 75 mile round trips to town.
