Hi Guys,
I am rebuilding my engine top end and needed to buy the isolation mount that holds the airbox in place. (it had sheared in half.
I was at the dealer for other parts and asked how much.... $87.00 ....
I just about fell over.
Got home looked on partsgeek, normally pretty reasonable W0133-1656386 $59.25
Well then I went to my hardware supplier
McMaster-Carr
$1.80
Guys this was shocking how much can be charged for a simple part.

Holy moley, that's unconscionable, even by Jaguar's grab your ankles price standards.
You would think by now that Jag would get it and support the enthusiast community instead of perpetuating a miserable reputation. maybe the Indians will see the light.
Thanks for the source, these are used on lots of different applications. Even BMW gets a mere $5.60 for that same part, #18 here;
