Up until now I have been using DVD+R disks with a DVD+RW external writer (Cendyne)for backing up my DVD's.
I have now been given 100 DVD-R (Taiyo Yuden)disks, and it makes sense to use them. My writer will not however write to them so I am looking to purchase a DVD-R writer, as a second unit could be handy. I did a search on AfterDawn but without success. Can anyone recommend a unit?

As I live in a rural area and there are no specialist shops, only supermarkets, purchasing is normally through the Internet, which means I am unable to view prior to purchasing. (In any case, the French are not exactly knowledgeable with regard to the latest units).

Here is an article that compares three of the better drives

Also Benq is a good drive, all of these drive will suit your purposes and they will burn both +/- formats and dual layer :~)
