I remember paying £35 about 20 years ago for a Bluebird CV boot.

I was that desperate. :(

I didn't think retailers charged double time I was always told halfords charge a £10 . I now take my vehicles to a local garage who charge me £0 for fitting just the price of a bulb Zafiras are a pain in the neck to change and it cost me just £4.20 last time
