Prices? You must be joking!

Have people noticed prices for our cars and spares are going up?
I needed bulbs for my heater display and found that the bulb with holder was six quid, £6 for one bulb that is smaller than a flea, and postage on top of that!!! Enough to drive me nuts these people.

I think its good that our cars are going up in value, it means that they are being sought... the price of parts will inevitably go up but you can shop around and find parts that are the same for other cars and are cheaper so you have to look a bit more to find the bargains.. regards ricky

was the bulb one of these, or capless? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-X-Panel...from=R40&rt=nc

Th bulbs look like this. Motor factor is useless round here and scrappy has no bl/austin or rovers oaround. https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-JWD10002

looks like a standard kind of bulb...Ring catalogue http://www.ringautomotive.com/uk/content/car-bulbs implies that it is like this. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12v-1-2w-...sid=m570.l1313. seem to be £1.10 each ish, if you buy 10..
Factors should have ring catalogue, pretty sure ours do. Annoyingly there are a few different types of bulb lurking behind dashboard...so makes it hard to find right one if motor factors are not being helpful..
