And I thought VX prices were silly...
« on: 15 August 2008, 13:05:16 »
Just been to the local Ford dealers, after a mirror glass for my grandads KA...

£15.03 inc VAT for a poxy piece of mirror glass which is on what has to be one of the cheapest, most common cars on the road...

Bugger that!

Last week's Autocar said the first oil change on their Freelander was almost 400 quid!  It's a 4-cylinder!

Buy one for your Omega then. You're talking iro£50 for a heated glass,
it was £20 something for my diseasal Astra, although I can now see around me with the proper glass.

Funny you should mention mirror glass......... I'm in the process of looking for a facelift complete passenger mirror, (any colour  ::) ) as I only need the black insert, not the outer. Local vaux dealer want £32 + vat just for the glass, going round to the local car bits shop for one this afternoon £4.99.  :y
