Geoggy, The thing that confuses me is, how are you being ripped off. You have not paid for the item or the repair, the contract has not been concluded and you are still able to negotiate or cancel the repair this company is going to carry out for you.
Mr Google has a lot to answer for. Seeing a part on the web is not like getting a part from the local supplier and carry out repair within short period of time. Nor does it give the engineer the facility to replace defective item at drop of a hat. While there is a mismatch between Mr Google price and your 'trusted' fixers quote, end of the day if you are not happy with what the company is charging you, you are free to go else where.
I too have been tarred by 'being ripped off brigade' couple of times, last time for a bill of £65 which was to tell the homeowner the defect but not to cure the problem. payment was made by cheque but then cheque was bounced.
If you are happy with the service, not the price, why not talk to the company? Might have been a mistake someone made in costing the component. Could also be, the complete manifold is being replaced.
