12v solenoid valve

Am I being ripped off? I have been told that I need a new 12v Solenoid Valve fitted to allow me to take water on board.
I have been quoted £93.44 for the valve plus vat and £37.50 plus vat for labour. ( 30 minutes work)
Is the world going mad? Talk about a cost of living crisis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Labour charge reasonable at todays prices.

My wife moped garage charges £85 per hour, you're getting it cheap!!!!!

Presuming it is the Whale Autofill valve then it looks very much like these:

If your valve is the same as mine it will have 1/2" BSP ports with hand tightened JG hose fittings and two push fit electrical connectors.

I took mine out and it is in the shed at home (with various other AS/Sargent gizmos!) but I'm not back there for three weeks so I can't look.

Yep. £9.59 for the valve, plus 5 minutes labour = £130.94. Simple maths, for a Government contract purchasing department.

.... or two actually for £9.59!

Oops I forgot the VAT. How silly of me! So that would be £157.13.
Personally I wouldn't have the balls to quote that to a customer. I couldn't sleep at night.
Just fill your tank from a hosepipe and buy a cross channel ferry ticket instead.

So if you put two valves in series the water gets pumped in twice as fast!

In fairness to the garage who quoted, they are pricing the Whale price as can be seen from any of these suppliers.....

That's a bit like the valve you get in the cold water supply pipe to a dishwasher, obviously except the dishwasher valve would be 230v
