    super rip off

    Is it me or am I being ripped off.

    I went to Supercheap to get some ignition parts for my 1993 CAB.

    Rotor Arrm $28

    Distributor Cap $ 50


    I also wanted leads, plugs and oil filter, however I cannot believe these prices.

    $28 for a rotor arm is criminal, unless that is reasonable in your opinion, back in the UK these parts were dirt cheap. Maybe I will ship them over, along with brake pads etc.

    Where do you guys go for your small servicing parts ?

    Pffft, expensive yes, but that is their price. Its always possible to walk out and seek them elsewhere.
    The rotors here are $14 and the cap $22.
    Guess thats why you maybe should support the forum sponsors eh??

    Try Coventry or Repco.

    Anything that isn't cheap chinese crap or Holden/Ford is generally marked up substantially by Supercheap.

    Also you have a better chance of getting someone who knows what they are talking about at these other shops so they don't firetruck up your order.

    Cheers
