Default ST170 Sump, why so expensive???

£250 from Ford? Ridiculous, lol.
Seen them on ebay for £25, I take it there cheap copies? Any reason not to get the cheap ones?
Reason for changing, mine is pretty corroded and seeping slightly. Also need to change the hydraulic line between the clutch master and slave cylinders as its bulging. Anyone done this?

Ford are getting a joke recently, I quoted my local dealer today for a fuel sender unit £235.46 + Vat and thats not including the pump. Fucking Joke they have got.

Will get the sump from ebay I reckon when im doing the next oil change.
Had to order the pipe from Ford, could only see them for the 1.8's online, and doubt it will be the same as they use a different gearbox.

its a shocking design flaw by ford running the exhaust so close to the sump, and when they rob you blind for their cock up its a slap in the face to all st170 owners
