Probably not. That place is rediculous aswell. They charge daft prices for parts. You can virtually get stuff for new price in some case. Scrap yards are getting too expensive I think. They once wanted £600 for a pair of S2 exige S seats that had been involved in fire damage !!!!! both seats would have needed complete re-trim. I explained these to them but they still thought they were worth the money !!

I asked them for some prices on some S1 parts...they are barking mad in what they are asking. I'm amazed they still trade, but then I guess some mug is buying.

S2 exige boot cable from them £60 + P&P, MTB brake cable from Halfords less than a tenner!

I bought them when they listed them on ebay . paid £300 . managed to get away with one retrim and a good clean on the other.

It was an inevitability once Haymarket took over.
They'll be looking for a return on the money they paid Ted and paid advertising is more lucrative than private freebies!!

I'm certainly glad that poeple have posted on here about Douglas Valley. These guy's are in my part of the world and it's common knowledge around these parts that they're the "rip-off merchants" of the north west. They tried to charge me twenty quid for the S2 heater control panel and then another fiver for each aluminium knob... I politely told them where to "stick-it". I really hope they DO go out of business !

Well I suspect that market forces will take care of them eventually by the sounds of it.

I have also found them extremely expensive, and not very helpful regarding the condition of their items.

Needless to say I didn't buy anything off them...

over £60 for my front indicator lens and it was cracked
