I was charged 80 euro for a new radio/clock LCD display unit for Peugeot
Partner. Isn't this expensive?

What it means is for a peugeot dealer thats cheap they usually charge at
least double what a normal garage would charge.

Yup - quoted me £365 for a Peugeot 306 instrument panel and that's just
for the part!

Gosh, and I thought it to be expensive... It's only the small rectangular
display in the middle on the dashboard. The lighting of the figures started
going out randomly. First they tried replacing the backlight bulbs and
cleaned a connector with contact spray, but the display still kept
interrupting randomly.
Anyway, good to know this is "cheap".

No you were right it is expensive. It's just less expensive than you might
imagine.
