SteveRS Posted March 5, 2013 Posted March 5, 2013 Euro Car Parts are currently offering 20% OFF MOT parts on there website at the moment with the code MOT20. Thought this offer might be of interest to some members. I've just ordered a new Bosch S4 Battery with a 4 year guarantee for just over £63 including free delivery. Quote

techinstaller Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 +1 on nap,I also have a trade account and can obtain much larger discounst than 25% as above we can haggle even further on the prices they do quote us ,but for sure i would be choosey what parts we use from Euro parts ,cworkshop consumables are fine suspension and ball joints can be ok but have shorter life than OEM or equivalent parts ,As for clutchs i not buy any again to much trouble ,also have issues with parts warranty very hard to get any resolution on dispute so be wary Quote
nap Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 spot on with warranty,i here it all the time off garages.i dont like to bad mouth eney body but it came up so had to say some thing as i here it daily form the garages i go round. Quote
amstrange1 Posted April 18, 2013 Posted April 18, 2013 Their sister site seems to offer the same bits for cheaper prices - even if you've got one of the club 25% discounts! http://www.carpartsforless.co.uk Quote
cs2000 Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 I wouldn't visit that link above, antivirus popped up when I visited it, I think the URl is wrong maybe? Quote
MartynB85 Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 I wouldn't visit that link above, antivirus popped up when I visited it, I think the URl is wrong maybe? I think its supposed to be ........ http://www.carparts4less.co.uk/ I looked there but the website was slow as f**k, couldn't be bothered to wait. I received my parts from euro car parts, seem ok to be honest. The battery was Bosch and the disks are Pagid, they'd better be genuine...... Quote
amstrange1 Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 Sorry chaps, I'd typed that from memory - obviously got it wrong! The link Martyn posted is the correct one. Quote

I dunno about that? I have used them for a long time. You can get Mercedes, Bmw or Porsche OEM parts for silly cheap e.g. Lemforder make mercs suspension stuff etc etc. Quote

The clutches they list for the 350z are the same Exedy ones that most traders sell on here, and the LUK flywheels, so hardly cheap crap. Just got to do your research first Quote
amstrange1 Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 The quality of some of their stuff is shocking, but if you know it's a decent brand it's usually fine. I use GSF a lot for my other cars too, and they're the same - but I tend to only buy bits if it's a decent brand - otherwise I avoid it. Quote

I use GSF a lot for my other cars too, and they're the same - but I tend to only buy bits if it's a decent brand - otherwise I avoid it. But that's like anything. E.g. The q drive stuff is about a quarter of the price of the lemforder stuff but then you expect it not to last. Tbh I've never has any problems with hegnst or guttman either. Quote
amstrange1 Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 Well, it's a bit different to walking into the Nissan dealer - you've no choice on part manufacturer, but at least then you know the part you get has been properly tested and validated. With the likes of ECP/GSF you're always taking a punt on what brand you'll get if you buy blind - ECP is usually easier as their site tells you what brand you're likely to get, whereas GSF is utterly pot luck in my experience. I tend to order in advance of really needing the parts so I can take them back if they end up being shonky brands/quality. Quote
