not a lot of difference when postage is paid for...rather buy from here....
Click to expand...

Not going to cost you £150 for postage and taxes for a thrust bearing Dem.....£180 difference for alternator....we saved £30 plus on the sets of plugs.........£27 on air/oil filters combo.....so its worthwhile picking and choosing........................................plus if you got a few things....all adds up....................
