AAAAARGH!

today my left paddle shifter got stuck in my jeans. it happened in a bend and i was drifting to the oncoming traffic so i had to force it back causing the paddle to break together with the switch itself. mane! i am still angry!

How long are you legs mate?
Or was you driving with you leg on the dash?

I bet these things cost next too nothing to manufacture, but will doubt be at least £40+
Considering thats how much the wheel center caps cost.

You best bet might be to find a breakers yard, but ive not seen that many i-shifts in breaker yards.

£63 that's quite a price. Is the dealer fitting it or you?

That's a definite HRO!

My wife just needed a complete radio control stalk for her Peugeot 206.

Cost £12.

Dont you love the feeling you have been ripped off.

as my wallet disagrees with Honda spare part pricing i will repair it. let's just hope the glue and hospital bill does not exceed the part price

I heard of someone paying £1000 for a windscreen wiper stalk for an old Maserati... so £62 is not too bad.

Thats a crazy price for a part like that!

Though I still don't understand how you managed to break it in the first place!
