Have you tried Simon? If they are the ones I am thinking of, then they are much cheaper from him.

Cheers

Talk to Andrea (at Simon), known in the past to give 'good' discounts when you plead poverty, which we all know about from owning an Alpine!!

Simon is Meca parts, Meca parts is Simon! They share lines, and normally charge the same price, though there are 'holes' to be found in their price fixing.

They are the 2 main parts companies and regularly join forces to order parts remanufacture, but they are not the same company.
Treico also sells mecaparts bits, but also manufactures it's own (mainly 110 bits).

Here are some prices from Simon Auto:

1 x Clutch master cylinder for a Renault GTA Atmo = Nr. 101011, EUR 177,31
1 x left-side drive shaft also for the Atmo = Nr. 091015, EUR 235,00

Rear suspension, lower, Nr. 121033, left/ Nr. 121034, right, EUR 471,00 / each incl. new bushes

Nr. 121030, bush seperate, EUR 22,61 / each


Not cheap, but not too expensive apart, perhaps from the bushes. im sure the last time the drive shaft gave out it was a bit cheaper but say lar vee.
