Default Am I getting knocked on prices + service question(s)

I was just wonding if I am paying over the odds for genuine honda parts.

Cambelt = £77.50 = $121.67
Front Pabs = £68.46 = $107.48
Rear Pads = £77.50 = $121.67
Air Filter = £29.23 = $45.89
Spark Plugs = £17.30 = $27.16 (each)
HT Leads = £69.00 = $108.33
Fuel Filter = £9.51 = $14.93

All the UK prices do include the VAT and the exchange rate I used is $1=£1.57

Also once I get the cambelt changed is there anything else I need to do like value adjustment???

Sounds about right..... Hmmm rear pads are more expensive than front pads!!
HT Leads? What's that?

Yeah couldn'r work out why the rear pads were more than the fronts. HT leads are the ignition leads. Well I happier now I know I am not getting mugged on the price of the parts.

those prices seem a little high, are you able to shop around? if so try and see what you come up with... as for the airfilter why don't you get a K&N for only 20. more and never change again and the spark plugs should be cheaper then that.

But I'm a cheapo and I shop around I usually find outrageously low prices and then buy. to me those seem high but the Europe thing might have something to do with it so if you feel that its ok then buy but try shopping it first.

That's cause we get the JDM pads, not the cheapo USDM ones....
