Sorry, I meant to say that they were an option on the standard hot Clio (182,200 or whichever it was).
No they weren't. Trophy only.in 1993 I had to pay £240 for a rear exhaust section for a Fiesta RS Turbo.
there wasn't any aftermarket options.. (only for the xr2i at that time)
.
also needed a thermostat gasket...one dealer said he would have to order them from Germany...
another said....its a standard gasket for a 1.6cvh how many do you want I have 9 on the shelf they are 60p.

Quoted nearly £1500.00 by main dealer for 2 rear tyres on my wifes X6, local tyre place replaced them with same as main dealer spec'd for £695.00
wow - nearly £350 for a rear tyre?! I realise the reasons why, but interestingly £350 was pretty much the bill for replacing all four tyres on my 3 series last summer.Honda S2000 VGS model. (variable geared steering for those not in the know)
Quotes from Hendy Honda were £14500. Yep, £14.5k to be clear. Power steering assistance failed, the rack reverts to it's lowest gearing, which makes it almost undriveable without assistance. Contacted approx. 15 electronic power steering specialists who said they cannot refurb the Honda's Showa units. Sold the car to a friend for a spares/repair price.

It would be quite amusing to price up the cost of building, say, a Ford Focus from parts sourced entirely from Uncle Henry's Parts Department - at 'retail' of course!
.......Someone calculated this with a Morris Minor years ago. I think the total came to around 1 million pounds !!Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
