How can one component cost as little as £50 while another which is seemingly identical costs more than £500?
If you were buying a mobile phone or television you would not even ask that question. Look at your own phone or TV – is it the cheapest you could have bought? Almost certainly not. In fact we very rarely buy the cheapest we can find because we know we usually get what we pay for. Cheap systems are cheap for a reason. If you are risking thousands of pounds worth of car and engine your priority is to find one that definitely works. No matter how cheap you should never buy anything that does not work. Ever. Remember, not every product does exactly what it says on the tin. Not every product is made using the same components. Not every factory works to the same standards. Not every product lasts the same length of time. Not every product is reliable.
