Default Expensive Nuts

ND might not have raped my wallet just yet but Ford parts dept have had a go

£19.62 for 3 tiny bushes and nuts for refitting my fuel pump

Why are they so expensive??

Sounds like they had to buy in a box of 10 and charged you for the lot. At least I got all 10 when I handed my cash over!

Anyone else need some?

Yeah they had to factory order them - so i had to have 10

Hadn't bothered looking under the car to see what size/thread they are, as they've been on over 188'000miles - didn;t think they'd be in good shape

Will keep the rest safe just in case
