GSF do brembo I do not think that there is much difference, they are all large international companies

.....I'm a bit brassy at the moment, ....

Parrot, I think you meant "brassic" as in "boracic lint" = skint? Or are you really "brassy" = cheap and flashy?

I replaced all four in December with ATE disks. The calipers and master cylinder are ATE componants so they have been OE suppliers to MB.

Thanks fellas, the ATE discs it is then. ECP has the benefit to me of being only about 3 miles away, the Merc dealer is 4 times that

And yes I'm brassic, its just around here we tend to say brassy

Since Block exemption came into force, original OE suppliers can now say who they supply with new components. I think that there are at least 5 that supply MB brake components

I thought that I said, or at least indicated in my post that you do not now have to go to MB for your genuine spare parts. as the same parts can be bought much cheaper now from local factors and parts suppliers.

So what is my point, buy the real thing cheaper, why pay more. I do hope now that you can understand my posting. Its a free world out there no doubt there are those who would rather pay more for the same thing, but that is choice, something that humans have, the only species in the universe with that gift.

The thing is that Merc are constantly updating the specs of parts to improve on performance, (even for discontinued models) and it would be highly likely that there would be a longer lead time for the updated spec items to be available from a motor factor.

That is the main reason I would always buy the dealer item (I would know I have the latest spec product, for very little extra cost).

Brake components are the fastest components used in car repairs MB do little in the development of brake components. They are all bought in including electronic systems ie, Bosch
I am not talking about suspension components where updates can take place.

Any new product are fully tested by MB if OK and they approve, then the old stock is not thrown away, they are sold off first, so no guarantee that your MB part is the latest

I would add one point here, be careful with brake pads. Too high a metal content and brake squeal. Asia is turning out a lot of these none OE pads and they are causing problems. They seem to have found their way into the European market. A friend e mailed me today from Denmark. Just thought id add this in case you guys in UK find this squeal problem.

Hi

So from that i would assume you put Europarts brake items on your SL then Television??

I have done the Europarts thing before and i have stopped long ago in my opinion and from experience Genuine MB parts are worth fitting especially when there is so little in the difference in cost as per these brake discs. But hey as you say it is a free world.

Euro parts sell nothing for my SL and I never buy parts from them for anything.

Since block exemption we now know who make what and for who, normal motor factors sell Mintex, bendix and other top brands, electricals I buy from Bosch. I get a trade discount from these people and the price comes down to ½ for the genuine thing.
I use EBC pads as thousands do all over the world as they give me a choice.

You seem to be under a miss apprehension as to what block exemption is all about.

It is not it as you say, if I buy parts from a motor factor and they came down the same production line but go into different boxes, then I am using original parts. Thats why the government brought the act into play, if you want to pay double for the same thing, then you are either filthy rich or stupid in my eyes, and only wishing to pick an argument.
