Car needed a new bonnet latch, the spring broke on it a few weeks ago, the local garage fixed it at the time using a spare spring they had in the workshop, but told me I needed a new latch, so I bought a new one last week. I dropped the car in first thing expecting to have to come back later to pick it up, the fella said sit down in the waiting room and we'll do it whilst you wait, so half an hour later I drove way job all done and only £25 lighter. I did ask about fitting cost at the Suzuki dealer when I brought the latch and they reckoned it would cost £165 to fit it.

So I'm well chuffed, the latch was only £36. I did ask about buying the spring and was told they were unavailable, I couldn't find any on the internet when I looked either.
