Im after some bosch sensors, is there anyone on here who works for Bosch ; can get them at trade price or knows of any online stores that do them relatively cheaply?

Thanks again

Alex

have you tried intermotor?

they have on-line catalogue - pretty sure I posted link to it few months back.

I got an intermotor radiator fan switch that made me almost faint at the price - was able to find same item around 1/2 price on ebay, hoh well ....

I work for Siemens (own bosch) - stuff like this isn't available for ordering by internal staff...or if it is, I haven't managed to find out how...

I work for Bosch, have done for 12 years, and I'm afraid it's bad news.

Automotive saw the UK market as not having enough turnover to keep it viable so they took it off us about 3 years ago. Nothing automotive can be bought through Interbosch in the UK now, including Blaupunkt/Velocity brands.

Sorry about that.

It had to come to an end though, they were sending us boxes of 10 bulbs for like 48p in packaging that prob cost £3, on next day delivery to the staff shop, lolz

It was so so awesome, but those days are gone...................

PS it's Bosch that own siemens btw!

Edit again: If you can find someone who works at a Bosch location in the rest of the world, Automotive are still open to them, but would probably be cost prohibitive given the postage
