Needed a new wheel stud and nut for my mini as it had snapped. went to the local parts centre, they rang Rover; £10.00 each!!!and you had to buy atleast 4!
so to replace all of them would cost 160quid!

anyway i went to a local breaker and got 2 for a quid, bargain!

moral of this rant.....shop around

I'd love to know how he rang Rover as it don't exist any more... sounds more like a parts supplier who just made up a price to make you go elsewhere as they could not be arsed to source the part.
