Tried dingbro yest for a rocker cover gasket and an ICV for a 2000 saxo vts and they cant get either
Just phoned halfords and they cant get me them either, although the guy on the other end of the phone hardly sounded enthusiastic. Read on saxo sports club that you can get them from halfords
So does anyone fancy seeing if they can get me a rocker cover gasket and icv?

would be great if you could find out, would rather do it the proper way than covering it with instant gasket

Bear in mind that the systems have changed so they cant get hold of as much stuff as before!

Halfords have changed their systems and they are good in some ways, but crap in others, such as searching for parts, they are very slow (when I quit at Christmas anyway )
I would be very surprised if you can't get one from Halfords though, ring again and ask to speak to a parts specialist, and if they can't help, ring another store just to see if they are able to access the parts database properly.
It wouldn't surprise me if the original guy you spoke to was just being lazy.
