The ones I am thinking ablout at the moment are throttle position sensors. Vauxhall will not sell a throttle position sensor for a 2.0 or 2.2 diesel without the comlete Alluminium throttle housing cover that it is screwed to. Cost £302.00 + vat for a part that is worth in the region of £20 - £40.00.
The throttle housing then comes with a boost pressure sensor that you might not need and is also available as a seperate part. ???
I also priced an Accelerator pedal postion sensor for a Daimler V8 and found that its only available with the throttle Body for £920.00 + vat.
I think the Car manufacturers have come up with a nasty plan to make most components extortianately over priced so that otherwise perfectly good vehicles will be scrapped to make people more intersted in buying a New vehicle.
