When I had my N-reg Omega they wanted £400 for plugs and leads it'd pathetic as that wasn't fitted either.

I phoned my main dealer today for a clutch kit and it wasn't much dearer than one from Buypartsby, only problem was they couldn't supply one until next Wednesday :(

leads, springs and wishbones def the most ridiculous prices i have encountered. Oil and plugs equaly daft at the almost free end of the scale.
Would seem to price themselves out of the market on one hand and on the other, make no money at all. 

Plenty of other parts inbetween though.

Most scaldalous price I heard of was for a replacement HId buld at £125, but maybe that ncluded the ballast unit as well.
