Only for those with deep pockets

So true; and its glitz merchants with their posh advertisements and deep-pile carpets to watch out for too. Around 25 years ago, a well-known tuner and modifier of Range Rovers was charging £750 for a long-range fuel tank. I tracked down the tank maker and bought one - £80. My local Land Rover "independent" fitted it - £90. Total expenditure £170. I wrote the experience up in a Land Rover fan magazine (payment £70) only to have said firm complain that the £750 was incorrect (it was, the actual priced £749) and that it took their "experts" a day to fit, their tank was different (it wasn't) and anybody else attempting the job would not know what they were doing and cause "irreparable damage". I showed the letter to the fitter at the garage, who collapsed in laughter and said if it had taken him a day, he'd have been fired on the spot. Start to finish time was less than two hours.
