Catalytic Costs

My garage tells me that a catalytic converter and sensor for my Daihatsu Extol can be purchased ONLY from the main Daihatsu wholesaler at the exhorbitant price of around £800 for the two items.

Is this true or can they be obtained elsewhere and cheaper please?

Daihatsu has now abandoned the UK market. I'd shop around here:
