CVT brushes - £109?? (is this right?!)

[madmezza]

I was going to change the brushed in my gearbox (CVT), and I expected about £20 or so (with them actually being worth a couple of quid)...

I was a bit suprised when I phoned Nissan an firstly the guy told me you can't replace any parts. So I corected him, then he went of for 5 minutes and came back telling me that you get the "whole assembly" and it's £109 including VAT!! fwn fwn fwn

Is he talking about the right part? How much have other people paid?

I'll buy them if I have to, but I don't want to pay more than I have to...

Cheers

I'm the CVT guy?! lol, I've no idea how much they cost as I haven't had a look at mine yet (still on with my blower:glare to see how worn they are thus haven't moaned at Nissan. Considering that I was quoted ~£35 fwn for a door speaker I can imagine a more critical yet seemingly banal component being more expensive, I've previously paid £16 for a set of brushes for a washing machine and I expect they have less inflated spares prices. The brushes themselves are in a brush holder (imaginitive naming there) so he might've meant that, otherwise I dunno what he was on about. The Haynes manual suggests that there's only 2 replaceable bits to the clutch; the brush holder and the rest of it.
