Euro car parts? I don't know if they can help. But i've just ordered a load cleaning products, oil and filters from then and got 25-30% off!

Top lads  :smiley:

Don't discount these lads. They are bloody helpful and cheap as chips....

Stupid drunk driver, why the hell wud risk your own and others lives and then be racked with guilt for the rest of your life if such a tragedy happened...plus the fact you wud lose your license...

Makes my blood boil just thinking about it, GRRRRRRRR!! :angry:

Good luck with rebuild tho mate, at least it's in the right hands now.... :smiley:
