That's one of the joys of Series ownership

Well, I note the carparts4less website is a near clone of the http://www.eurocarparts.com/ website, which does worry me. However they accept PayPal so if anything is wrong, then I'll get my money back easily.

Yep, you were ripped off there alright

As you have noticed carparts4less is the totally online part of eurocarparts, they are much cheaper and sometimes also have discount codes.

I have used them many times and they have been 100% reliable.

The only drawback would be if you ordered the wrong parts you would have to pay the return costs yourself whereas with eurocarparts you can return any online order to any eurocarparts branch.

As an example one recent order from CP4less was £89 and the same part at ECP was £149.

Money saving tip:-

Go to a scrapyard, a Mk2 Focus, is probably cheaper than the wiper blades!!!

Nobody ever scrapped their car due to faulty wiper blades. Many scrap yards are now online, so just order wiper blades...maybe the cost of them is less that P&P ???

Eurocarparts local store in Milton Keynes, £14 fitted for a front pair of old fashioned wipers(Champion I think?).
I did say I would fit them myself but the guy said if I did that the trainee wouldn't have anything to do

Carparts4less then.

The parcel arrived but missing one wiper blade. They are suggesting someone from Yodel has opened the parcel, taken the blade, then taped it back nicely again. I don't think so.

Raised a claim with PayPal for a refund as the company don't actually read emails.

Amazon would send another out straight away no quibbles

Shame.

Not too sure on that.

Getting quotes from scrapyards via breakeryard.com always seem to come out higher than second hand parts on ebay. Think the scrappies see the pound signs rolling when they know someone wants what they have.
