Sounds about right for halfords.
Once went in for 10cm of fuel pipe, and they tried to sell me a metal brake pipe and then a rad hose. Eventually we got to the fuel pipe and all the could sell me was a metre length.
since then I try and find the small local car part stores.
The greatest lesson in life is to know that even us idiots are right sometimes
