So, am looking for a voltage regulator for my aged 172 and came across this advert:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/110198-Aircr ... 5#rpdCntId

In the text of the advert it states that the Voltage Regulator is available by separate negotiation but there is no way to get in touch - when you attempt to send an ebay message you get a message stating that this function is disabled for that user.

The item is listed as being in Heanor - does anyone happen to know anyone with a 172 in that area who's upgraded to an alternator? Long shot, I know!

Hey, thanks! Well, that was weird. If I try and contact the seller related to that item, I get the strange message about function disabled. However, if I contact them via their profile it seems to work. Thanks - been using ebay for 19 years and never seen that. Doh!

Playing devil's advocate (and assuming you are in the UK/EASAland): Are you happy that your maintenance organisation is happy to sign off an eBay part (of course it may come with the appropriate paperwork).
