Anyone who uses eurocarparts here's a good tip. Check their ebay store, almost half the price of their online and high street stores ! Just got a set of brake pads and disks - £270 main dealer, £240 euro online but £85 from the ebay store, a third of the price !! Exact same parts and part numbers. Checked a couple of other bits and they're all about half cost, eg wiper blades £45 online - £24 ebay. As I said the exact same stuff just a lot cheaper.

I'd rather pay for OEM parts as waste money on cheaper parts, especially Brake Pads, Timing Belts etc, The cars and clients are my lively hood so there is no reason for scrimping on the vehicle they book and that their lives depend upon. |

So Bosch brake pads are'nt as good as OEM, even though Bosch probably make the OEM ones supplied by the dealer ? And an oil made by Mobil won't be as good as the one you get from a dealer (Mobil are the suppliers to Toyota for eg. They just stick a different label on the bottle and mark it up by 50%). |
