Now folks !!! A few of you know me...... So I'm open to honest opinion.
Contacted the geezer on eBay re my dash cap. Turns out he's a business although he hasn't identified himself as one. Anyways ..... He's quoted £250 for the cap..... Is it me or is that at least £150 rats dearer than it should be for a piece 2nd hand plastic?? Or am I a tight wad?? :?:

Here`s a typical priced one used in the US. Works out at roughly £160.

I`d split your man in the middle for similar. Try your luck.

Its not like he`ll be inundated with offers for the dash I wouldn`t think. Depends whether you want to bite the bullet or not. Tell him its ok you`ll leave it. Let him sweat and he might come back with a counter offer. Unless he`s reading this :lol:

Hi BillyBob,

£250 does sound a bit steep but I suppose it depends on how quickly you want to get it back on the road. It might be awhile before another comes available or on the other hand another might come along next week.

I would be inclined to leave it a week or so and then maybe try him again with an offer and see what happens.

Good luck with it anyway, I'll keep my eyes open for one.
