£14381.48 inc. VAT (Roughly lol)

Thats not even everything as I missed loads of nuts, bolts, seals and assume the engine has its basic internals etc.... add to that around £700 for the surcharges on various items and you'll agree £2k is a cheap budget lol.

If your wondering I was bored and curious whilst looking for a part number on the citroen parts website

[saxostuart]

thats nuts!!! serious money there

[LeeM]

nearly 4 grand for the engine!?!?!?!!? just shows how much of a markup there is on parts

[shooorn94]

Wow... thats a bit ott on prices tbh, Sh*troen need to be told where to stand. Annoys me the markup on those prices...

handbrake cable being the cheapest item at £8?

[LeeM]

handbrake cable costs about 12p to make and sells for £8 lol

[frankie]

bargain.....

[Ax_beefy]

I got both my cables for £4.50 from a motorfactors lol.... honestly its shocking

[shooorn94]

Well at least you know all the parts are "quality" coming from citroen :zainy:

[Ax_beefy]

Well at least you know all the parts are "quality" coming from citroen :zainy:

Quality???? they call an ECU a calculator lol....

[furio-james]

Quality???? they call an ECU a calculator lol....

LMAO! :clapping:

[kevin_172]

your really must have been bored!!! thats just silly money!

[shooorn94]

Quality???? they call an ECU a calculator lol....

dude... "Quality".... "Quality"

[Ax_beefy]

dude... "Quality".... "Quality"

You've lost me there... I was implying that if they were quality parts they would use universally recognised names like in the manual. Motorfactors don't list ECU's as "Calculators"... it was a joke

[shooorn94]

sorry it's late and I confused myself... anywho... "Quality folks"

[Predator_R32]

id pay it :p

[Ax_beefy]

I was looking for this (no.2) which is actually reasonably priced @ £30.75:
