£30 for OEM quality disappointingly. In fairness most parts are fairly affordable. It is the labour time to fit them that would be crippling should I not be handy with spanners. Heater matrix is £30 whilst the book time for fitting is 10 hours for example. There are some scary exceptions to this though. Should a new ABS pump and modulator be needed, £2k+ for parts alone.
If it makes you feel any better, a new expansion tank for my last V8 folley set me back £260.
Another car I should never have sold. Try finding a decent Silver Shadow for £3.5k now!
