The £2000.00 difference between the P/X price and the showroom asking price is simply mark up.
They will have an over allowance of about £1000.00 built in for any part exchange they may be offered against it.
If there is no part exchange then they would probably offer a £1000.00 discount.
So they are left with a £1000.00 potential "profit" which will be quickly diluted by the time they prepare the car for retail sale and stick a warranty on it.
That is before you even start looking at all the overheads that go hand in hand with running a business.
Golden rule: Never go back to the garage that you sold your car to because you will only get upset and feel that you have been shafted.
I was planning to advertise next week for £600.00 with the side bearings if it was still for sale.
I would let it go to forum members for £500.00 with the side bearings or £400.00 without.
I can set the plates up for either 60% - 80% or 100% lock.
I would recommend 60% which would give you an ideal road and track car

Never watched it but will tune in for next series as filming started on my doorstep today in the local forests in Rural Perthshire.
About 40 lorries/vans/huge cherry pickers way 80 feet in the sky were parked up in the previously prepared adjoining field.
Never seen a filming set in the flesh before but this was simply amazing, I was blown away by the scale of it and drones flying about everywhere.
Did not recognise any of the actors as like I said I have never watched the series.
Any Outlander fans out there?
I can let you have a pair of new front Brembo style discs which are OEM quality and Ferodo or Mintex pads for £150.00.
As Rabbitstew has said very easy as a DIY or supply your own parts to the garage.
Just drop me a PM if I can help further.

Belts will not be covered by your warranty, however, they should have been replaced before you took delivery of the car.
Hopefully, you will get a goodwill.
John,
Only one belt on this car and it is self adjusting.
Check the notches on the self adjuster to determine if the belt is stretched.
To eliminate the belt or pulleys, Just remove the belt (2 second job) and try your cold start with the belt off.

No, but you will have to remove parts of the dash if you wish to remove the A pillar trim completely.
Could you not just partially remove (pop) the trim as I guess that you are just wanting to feed some wires/cabling down?
