Hey guys! managed to do a quick check on the Renault Scenic prices for parts ( Intrade just before I get drugged up again) here are the prices. Oil filter $17.30. Airfilter $41.00 (more expensive of 2 types) Front brake pads . $50.00 quoted to me from a National parts supplier all available over the counter. The headlights are available haven't got around to the prices yet. BTW I used the Rego off the car that was in question.

noting wrong with secoundhand but this item will be specific to that car shape other parts most likely cross over to nissan also in some cases so they are not realisticly relevant for true comperasing

Pretty much what Ive always said-SERVICE parts are same as for jap or yank or Auzzzie. What about mechanical failure parts? Coils. window regulators.hubs n stubs etc.

In my experience with all things Euro and it is /was considerable ( not trumpet blowing ) the interchangeability of parts from one model to another and one make to another is fairly substantial. Biggest failure for rear window regs is lack of use and this is also on Japs. I actually specialised in Daihatsu/ Suzuki/ Subaru/ Hyundai/ and Mazda Rotary before the one make Specialists made a bow, I basically bought everything that was Oddball at the time including the original Mitsi Colts. If I had to rely on mechanical failure by Euros (other than some make auto boxes) I would have gone broke. Window regs did stuff out but most are easily obtained and most aren't handed, so left will fit right. The mechanical parts usually was a broken wire or stuffed teeth. Easy repairs grind the geared sector off a L/H one flip it over and weld or rivet to the stuffed R/H. Most stubs are of the MacPherson style so replacement(new) are available most Suspension/steering/ Repco (type places ) at reasonable prices. People in the main are just plain Lazy/busy to shop around, so if they ring the dealership first and get stung they then berate the make of car they drive. You know all this anyway Kaz. Unfortunately the Euro myth is perpetuated. Anyone here living in Europe would have a different outlook on the Euro marques.
