PCV has finally given up - where to source parts in the UK?

Hi all,
After 112,000 miles our RS4 turned into an idling jet engine over the weekend so it seems one of the PCV has given up and will need replacing. I believe the parts for the left and right side are as follows but where's the best place in the UK to get them? I can only find some on eBay from Lithuania and would rather try a UK Shop if possible. I'll give the local dealership a call tomorrow but wondered if there was anywhere I'd missed as they seem to be scarce at best.

Left - 079103210E

Right - 079103209CB

Just after a major service too. Great timing :(

Thx

Thanks Andy. I saw that late last night and messaged the guy who did it first to see if his car is still alive :) Certainly saves 25% which always helps.

All sorted. Went for new OEM instead and I must have ordered ones with extra placebo as it’s running smoother than before. £200 each but one less thing to replace now.

Thx for the advice.

It was me that did the Merc PVC swap, sorry I don't come on here often and only saw your PM today. Just for reference I've had no issues since fitting.
