kill um with crisps 7 Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 My van needs a new high pressure fuel pump and gates the peugeot main dealer wants £1100 quid. Never ends does it? Not being to happy about my impending fleecing i decided to use the website findapart.com. I submitted my details and 10 minutes later i get a phone call from a nice young lady offering to sell me the fuel pump for £150 in as new condition and under warrantee. Result says me. Next to call a garage and get a quote for labour. £150 again! So thats a bill of £300 total instead of £1100 ex vat, payes to shop around me reckons! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
