I've been scouting the net exploring the difference is parts prices. I've noticed certain parts carry a surcharge which is, in some case very significant. Why is this so??

Hi

Generally its because the part you are about to buy is NOT NEW...i.e its reconditioned....

Take alternators as an example.... a BRAND NEW one might be £400 ..no surcharge needed....

A "Reconditioned" one might be £200 ...surcharge needed to make sure they get your old one back to then rebuild to sell to the next person...


As a general rule.....if no surcharge you are buying new, if there is a surcharge you are buying reconditioned (secondhand lol)

All the best Brett

Thanks for that - each day is a learning curve....

Cheers
