Thanks to this site, I'm now brave enough to caary out the services on my ST TDCi, and it's come round to 12 months so I'm due to do another one.

Thought I'd pop to the local dealer and get the bits and pieces. Do these prices seem a bit steep?

Pollen Filter: £14.94 exc VAT
Oil Filter: £9.00 exc VAT
Air filter: £9.62 exc VAT
Fuel Filter: £34.20 exc VAT

I got home and checked the local motor factors and could get all these for pretty much half-price, and that includes branded names such as Bosch.
Have I been ripped off, or are Ford genuine parts worth the extra money?

(There are some good deals on e-bay too direct from Ford dealer Paynes of Hinckley just for information, but don't currently list a service pack for the 2.2 TDCi.)
