as i said, i have no problem with paying, my fault, hands up, but the quote takes the piss IMHO
A main dealer isn't going to arse about with that sort of thing though, they would change everything for new. And it's not unreasonable to expect someone with a new car (ie/still under manufacturers warranty) to only want a main dealer repairing it.
