I bought the whole kit cheap from a vrakoviště. They even installed it for me for a couple hundred Kc. I found a few that look like they specialize in Honda. Maybe ring them and see what they have: http://www.vrakoviste-honda.czhttp://www.autoland.cz/hondahttp://www.hondavrakoviste.cz/novy_dily.htmhttp://www.autovrakoviste-nagano.cz/autovrakoviste/autovrakoviste-honda
Does anyone know a reputable mechanic who can do an oil change on a Volvo? I called dealer and they do it for 6000 czk which seems way overpriced for oil change
