Back box silencer £78??

[JK123]

Hi all, I have a 306 98 model and just had it MOT'ed and it failed on the back box, they supplied and fitted one and charged me £78 for the box.

Now I thought that was a bit steep but was informed the one fitted isn't a cheap one.

Now what I wanted to know is, is there a budget one and a decent one, as I was quoted £38 for one from andrew page.

Cheers

It's called markup! There probably are cheaper ones around, but being a backbox, it'll last you 3 years easilly.

Does you know if this is the decent one with the part number PG514Q ?

I'd say it's an 'economy' one, unless the part number is used between different manufacturers.

They must have given you the price before doing the work. Was the £78 including fitting?

Grumbling over a £78 part.

You want to try owning a 407 then youd know what proper expense is!
