   Just been to GSF Auto Parts to get some parts for when I service my car. They are basically Partco/Unipart but a hell of a lot cheaper - i picked up 4 HT leads, a fuel filter, an oil filter and 5L of oil for just under £40 inc. VAT. Just thought I would let everyone know their website so they can see for themselves

   I get my stuff from there.
   
   I needed a wheel bearing couple of weeks ago, everywhere else were like £20+ but in GSF they only charged me about £10.

   You have to be careful with some of the stuff supplied by them and eurocarparts as the quality is rubbish.
   Always ask for the betteq quality items as they are usualy oe supplier items

   I agree with swampy, although I think euro isn't too bad on what products they supply and price. But you have to be carefully with gsf as they have alot of cheapo parts that are made in china, and the quality is soo poor which is why it's soo cheap, but even asking for the quality stuff there you don't always get what you ask for at gsf, because of there part number system you may ask for Bosch but get some random part/brand
   I've worked there and didn't like the part number system at all, I found some garages would complain cause they would pay the price of say a Mann&hummel filter but get day fram which isn't half as good. still gsf do sell things cheap though if you get the make you want lols

   yeah my sparkys and filters are bosch, so they should be OK. i suppose its the same whever you go though, always look for a trusted brand/manufacturer
