R12 000 to replace a trailer plug

[Stonemason]

I damaged the trailer electrical connection on my Mercedes. I bought the part from the agents at the absolute ridiculous price of R2 641. Now the agents want more than R10 000 to install the new part. Can that be a reasonable price in anyone's books?

The image shown in that forum post is actually a torn suspension control arm bushing, not a trailer electrical connection.


It appears the user on the MyBroadband forum uploaded the wrong picture or mislabeled the image. What you are looking at is a cracked and separated rubber mount that fits inside a car's suspension system to absorb road vibrations. [1]

Bull.

You don't screw bushes in place. That could very well be a trailer electrics plug screwed onto a mounting plate.

Ask @Pax but first I want to know why it broke. Has it done 350 000km yet?
