So perrys are charging me £280, i had it on a diagonics test and its came back with broken coilpack, and extensions leads, plus a bulb in the headlight was out apparently (charging £30 to fit and replace) ...

so now im wondering if i should go ahead with it and let them do it or find the parts cheaper elsewhere?

I had the coilpack replaced only 5 months ago when i broken down and the AA did it.

Am i being ripped basically?

Thoughts anyone?

In that case phone round a few other garages telling them what needs done and what they would charge. Smile

Oh but they said its broken so will need replacing anyway? Eurocarparts will let you return it if you dont need it anyway.

Iv not heard of these extension leads so would be helpful to know what they are

you sure you didn't mis-hear them for HT leads rather than extension lead? In which case, that is what the coilpack basically is

The fact you even had to ask 'am i being ripped?' makes you sound clueless!

In short, yes.

DIY. Headlight bulb costs around £5. Takes less than 2 minutes to replace (FACT, i timed it!).

Coil Pack take a similar time. Plug. Play.

Run away quickly. thats a rip off. coil is about £70 (probably a lot cheaper from a scrappy) and easy to change and bulbs are a few quid.

Input? I think I just told you to replace the coil pack and headlight bulb. That is input.

Just because you don't like my answer no need to get defensive Wink
