Im baffled by suzuki, bought a few elusive parts off them for next to nothing, popped in earlier to get some bolts and asked for a price for a pair of handbrake shoes, only do it as a kit with pads and cable etc.... £137....no thank you!

Strange isn't it. I've had a bits and pieces at reasonable prices and other items are unbelievably priced.

I think it's mostly the parts that are SJ specific that cost a lot, things like bolts, seals etc they use on loads of different models so the prices are good, the less common old parts seem to keep climbing in price.

gave my local factors a ring straight afterwards and got a pair of shoes for £15, dunno if thats good but its a damn sight cheaper than Suzuki!
