UK part prices

What is it with the UK and massive part prices compared to over the pond?

Clutch plates in the UK £300 a pop. Pretend to be trade I get them for £230. US Delivered not a pence more to pay, £150. What the hell! Really annoys me that we are being ripped off.

Again. Crank damper 'oh that will be £650'. Over the pond £410 delivered.

/Rant over

There are many factors for the price difference. Generally we have a higher cost of living, and we pay for that on the goods we purchase. Fuel, real estate, wages etc.

I got my engine parts from the US, they landed in this country and were taxed!
