Carparts4less are cheaper and i think are part of eurocarparts anyway. Check out both web sites they are quite alike. Top tip for carparts4less is to make yourself an account and type in your browser for a voucher. Think its SAVE5 which equates to 5%. Take your parts to the checkout,basket and exit. DON'T BUY THEM. The guys over at carparts4less will be looking at your stuff in your basket and thinking is this bugger going to buy....still wait...by day 4 you will get an email saying are you wanting them! ignore it. Another 2 days and they'll offer an extra 10%...bonus

I bought a set of APEC pads from my local motor factors which cost £22 and fitted myself. (2009 2.0 GT TDI 140)  £100+ pounds seems steep to me particularly as APEC pads do feel pritty good, just have to see haow long they last!

Well I got the car serviced and the dealer reported that the pads are 50% worn so another year I think before they need doing. Thanks for the replies
