I have just called rentech to ask for a price for fitting a new steering rack. He said he would only be interested if he could fit a new one. Fair enough I thought, doesn't want to fit an old knackered one and have me moaning. Then he said it would have to be genuine, when I told him Renault no longer do them but I can get a recon (exchange one) he said he'd only do it if he could source and supply it.

Does this sound right? Am I being overly suspicious? Sounds like I am about to get ripped off.
