Whats going on with LR parts prices?

HAPPY NEW YEAR to all!
Hope everyone had a great Xmas.....

Got up to nothing with the Disco over the break, and looking forward to the WA AULROians BBQ on the 10th Jan. The guy organising it has offered a hand to fit the new +2" springs I have in the garage, so hopefully they might be on before the next trip out. Fingers crossed.

Whilst off work, I decided to look more seriously into getting the MAF sensor as mentioned a few posts back.
Gave my local official LR dealership a call to double check prices, and a few weeks ago the MAF sensor was just over $800. I can now get one for $345 inc GST! Looks like LR are selling stuff off cheap for the D2's right now, following the stuff in the news about them being in trouble! What now surprises me is the fact my local garage who does the work on the Disco, are now more expensive than a main dealer for parts!! Ouch!

Still, decided to get the one from eBay.
All in, including delivery from UK to Perth, came in at $83
(yes, thats just eighty-three dollars!)

Now just waiting for it to arrive.....

Oh yeah, and the CDL actuator is STILL not ready..... :o(
