Reply To: Opinion: Saying no to customer supplied parts is right but only in 99 per cent of cases

[Philip Dunmore]

Agree with previous comments. If vehicle manufacturers supplied parts at reasonable prices much of this problem would go away. Large assemblies are often the only option, refusing to supply individual components. I have come across instances where the part is available and can be ordered but is not listed in the catalogue. Pure profiteering. Manufacturers also want vehicle end of life to come early.
