Just been looking around for a few bits and bobs for the Mondeo, and this place seems to beat Euro Car Parts for price for the same parts.

Has anyone used them before, and if so, were they prompt and reliable?

  • Its ECPS sister company apparently... Prices seem to me what ECPS are after the 25/30 discount is applied.... ish. SAVE5 for another 5%... I'll order some bits later for the week see what the service is like.

    As above they are europarts under another name.

    What parts are you buying? Diesel thermostat? They sell the wrong one.

  • Also try Unipart. They are very good on price, and certainly beat Halfrauds.

    Cheers for the replies, a bit like using ECP but getting the trade discount (and a bit more from what I can see).
  • Carparts4less can be cheaper than Eurocarparts BUT....

    getting your money back if they send you the wrong part can be a right pain in my experience. They appear to have no technical support.

    At least going to Eurocarparts you can talk to a technical person and go back to change the part if it doesn’t fit.

    As the man said to me, we have the latest catalogues with the least number of errors in them!

    I've just used them right now after reading this thread, a pair of wiper blades for £7.68 delivered. I can't buy one cheaper than that at Halfords.

    Halfords are for lazy people and people that want it now.

    I ordered my wiper blades from ebay and they sent one right and one wrong. 21/20 instead of 22/20. I emailed them and they apologised said keep the wrong one and sent me the right one next day delivery.

    Some said their own brand ones were not long lasting, But they have been fine for the last 3 years.

    About £10/£12 for a pair of flat style wiper blades. Better than Halfords £19.99 for a pair.
