Average Cost for the following parts?

8th November 2007, 22:37

Hi All,

Can you let me know what you would expect to pay for the following parts on a used market, just so i know if i'm being ripped off or not...
(For Phase 1 VTS)

Catback Magnex exhaust
Stainless Manifold
Stainless Decat
Airbag Spiral ring
Wiper and Demister Relays

I reckon about a tenner for the ring is a fair price, £47 + vat from citroen new apparently. Just noticed the group buy on manifolds for £120 so i expect around £70-80 for a used one? Not sure about the cat back and the decat

Cheers

Catback Magnex exhaust 140
Stainless Manifold 90-250 depending on the make and quality
Stainless Decat 30
Airbag Spiral ring Fiver from a scrappy. Although airbags are generally useless after 5 years anyway
Wiper and Demister Relays Few quid each from a scrappy

Thats what i reckon mate. You always get stuff cheaper dwon scrappies if you actually go there and find the parts yourself too

Thats the thing pal, all the scrappys round here dont let you walk round cars and take the bits off yourself like int he good old days, you tell them what youw ant, they take it off, and then charge you for the priviledge. And all the ones i've rang som far say the parts i need are so low value, its not worth their time taking them off and posting. Arghh.
I'll get there in the end, thanks for your guide prices

Haynes manual reckons airbags should be changed every 10 years.
