General Parts where to get them from ?

[thefallenangel]

Looking for cheap prices as my car was serviced yesterday and looks like i need the following:

Front Discs
Shoes + Drums (rear)
CAT
Anti-roll bar bushes
Rear Suspension Bushes

I've got the pads off ebay for £16 but discs i think local will be better as postage will be expensive and i'm thinking the same for the cat but shoes and drums i'm hoping for a saving or are they too heavy for postage.

Seen the roll bar bushes for £3. Oh and wilkinsons for wipers and bulbs as i'm hoping to get number plate bulbs and 3 wipers for about a tenner.

My favorite source for ''wear'' parts. Shipping costs are 16e but the price difference is well worth it. At least for me it is, over here in The Netherlands parts are quiet expensive.

contact http://tcc-automotive.com/index.php they can normaly get hold of standard stuff at a good price, and they local

they don't seem the best prices. that shop4parts i can get discs cheaper local.

And does £50 sound about right for a cat including delivery.

Are the anti-roll bushes the same from any other car as i've bought the 2 back bushes for £9 but the anti-roll ones are £9 each which doesn't seem right to me.

Price also matches with quality.

This a brakes you are talking about, so buying cheap Chinese parts might not be the best idea.

Ive recently looked at SHop4Parts brakes prices. Less than £10 for a 1200 8V disc is silly cheap and you can bet its quality stuff. Even HGT brakes are no too bad. Why take the risk for a few pennies.

£23 for 2 discs or £30 + postage.

I think brake discs for the price of them with postage isn't worth purchasing online.

I've had my service report and the front brakes, wiper blades and number plate light bulbs are high priority or easy enough to do.

Got 2 rear suspension bushes for £9 not bad. Shame the anti-roll ones are the same price each which sucks.

S4P charge by weight so presumably a bit cheaper when there is a lot of stuff.

I recently paid less than £12 to send a large 14Kg package. (700 x 600 x 350mm). They *should* be no worse than that.

Europarts are £19 delivered for 2 discs.

£35 for new pads and discs ain't bad. Cat is £45, Drums and shoes local are £55 so hopefully a few quid off too.

Euro Carparts is definately worth a look at. I just got a battery for my punto for less than half what Halfords wanted.
