Red face Hard to get parts?

G'day all,

I got a friendly surprise as usual at the local Ford dealer - they want $319.90 for an XH Falcon tensioner. I understood the price was supposed to be more like $140 and I'm wondering if Ford has recently decided to double all their list prices.

It isn't a part I'd find at any old wrecker but does anyone have any suggestions? We are almost ready to start my car but it would really help if I could have my XH belt installed.

Also while I'm at it, does anyone know any radiator shops in Melbourne who would sell a brass EF Natrad radiator for a good price?

Cheers for any advice!

Jack
