    That's pretty steep, I thought 140 was bad

    Looks that way but have not heard back yet if there are other problems while doing the job :/

    Hope its just the switch!

    By the way how will I know if its original part fitted and not a spirus one???

    In that case, if you not trust anyone, buy part in dealers, go to garage, ask them take off everything, and , when new part ready to be installed, give them, and stay beside mechanic, until he will finish job, or install yourself.

    If I remember correctly the part was 22 euro. The other 200 was for labour as apparently it was a bitch to get at. No sure if I believe that though, it was before I decided to learn about cars so I didn't try to do it myself.

    Just on my way to.pick it up, no way to tell if it was a bitch to fit, if even the part was fitted with main dealer part, ul ask for receipt for the part when I go to pay, not paranoid just don't want to be told its ignition switch when it was just a fuse or loose wire!

    Got it from garage, all good, no issue, turns on the first go.

    Ignition switch 57.00e @23.00% vat
    Labour 61.58 @13.05%

    Order value 118.58euro
    Taxable amount
    61.58@13.5% 8.31e
    57.00@23.00% 13.11e = 21.42

    Total 140euro
