Euro car parts

[pomm001]

i've mostly found Europarts to be pretty good for parts, only one issue to report, i bought some drop links for the van, fitted them, went about 2 miles down the road, and one snapped in half, Europarts gave me a refund, no quibbling, it was just one of those things, nothing else has let me down,

It’s a bit of a grey area, the term 'OE' having been in automotive R and D for many years almost all manufactures would not use parts from a supplier who competes with them in the market place, either current or old model, partly because of loss of revenue and mainly because the manufacture pays for the tooling, and mostly they own the IP rights for the part for a min of 10 years.

Nothing against Euro parts they offer a good choice in the part costs, and are in general good quality, but always check the dealer price first sometimes they are cheaper than the factors

I agree with the above and can give two examples of this,
1, drop links for the 'S' were only £22 each from Merc
2, priced at local factors the track rod ends were £95 per side, at Merc they were £45 per side! Two for one and fiver for a sandwich left over too, can't be bad

Finshed the job DIY and prices

£62.35 total for ball joints track rods both sides did the job myself thanks to this site. Time on job with doing on drive way and plus tools 4hrs.

Problems had: Hard pins on bottom of ball joints broke and retained within hub needed drilled both sides. off side brake caliper needed striped to be put back on.

Hope when i change the fuel lines it will also go well.

Sorry lost faith in MB dealers thats why we need sites like this. Thanks for all your help lads.
