Ewen Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Whenever something needs replacing, or if I find something a little tatty that bugs me I take pride in buying brand new, original whenever I can. Toyota Parts have done well out of me over the years, but today, they flabbergasted me like I've never been flabbergasted before. Drivers door card...£800 plus vat. I laughed, they laughed, we laughed together. I was still laughing when I put the phone down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
