Once upon a time
it was a requirement in this country that a manufacturer/importer(?) was required to keep available for reasonable substitution, spare parts for 10 years on any device sold to the public. As a result there was a very large volume of storage devoted to spare parts and this impacted upon the cost of those parts.
That seems to be a part of history, but the spares cost has not decreased owing to the decrease in the cost of storage space.
Welcome to the new world, where a spare part may be weeks away and your car will be off the road until it arrives, and makes its way to the dealer/repairer.
And you are not going to be able to buy anything except an imported car soon. I wonder who we can collectively blame for that?
I think I'll start growing oats and buy a horse - if it can't carry me, provided I've treated it with love and respect, it might be a good companion....
Cheers
