    Rip off VW breakers

    Not really one for slagging people off on the internet, I find it much more enjoyable face to face but I can't let this one slide.

    I went to a fairly well known vw breakers in Oldbury today to get a bonnet catch for my T4. They had one luckily but wanted £45 for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :corey:
    I decided to leave it.

    I then called into TPS to find out they are circa £30 inc vat new
    I promptly ordered one.

    Needless to say I wont be going to this breakers again

    Phone call is usually cheaper and less time consuming before actually going to that breaker.

          T4 stuff goes for crazy prices from breakers, it's like it's gold plated.

          Funnily enough I sold a bonnet catch with cable for £15 on eBay last week.
          1990 B3 2.0 80 quattro.
          1992 C4 2.8 Avant quattro
          1994 MTM RS2.
          1998 B5 TDI quattro Sport.
          2000 B5 TQS.
