are the prices of parts for the Skoda rellly that expensive and scarce   .......  or maybe it is just some one uninsured that needs to repair their crashed car.

In the local newspaper up here a Skoda dealer has, appharently, had a break in, through the window of their showroom ...... what was stolen???

Well they stripped parts off one of the Skoda Fabia's in there and took the bonnet, radiator, front bumper, lights and lights housing and the air-con compressor and condensor.

I do not know if spare parts are expensive or not for skoda.Last week I had a bit of a mishap with the door mirror it got broken with getting too close to a wheelie bin and it got pushed forward and broke at the hinge.Super glue would have done the job but with fixing the towing mirrors on it, it would not have lasted so main dealers here I come, £247 it cost, is this dear comparing to other make and models I do not know.By the way the mirrors comes in there parts, and the part I broke was the one where the electric motor was in and only that part was replaced
