I DON'T CARE how much it costs. I don't give a flying fart about it.
I just want parts for my car, not somebody else's, ffs.

Well yes that's understandable. But obviously you have misunderstood what I'm saying. They have never fucked up with supplying of vehicle parts and have been a decent price too for me. If you wish to try them in future then just let me know.

Don't order that from Eurowrongparts, they'd sell you one for Chitty fucking Bang Bang. Or Herbie.

Ecp once sold me pads and discs for a 1.3 fiesta. Adamant they were also the same for the 1.6 fiesta. Yes they fit but about 20 mm too small!

I love SAF. Particularly going in and joining a queue of 7 irate blokes who just want to buy fucking car parts and get the fuck out, all the while one or maybe two guys are serving and there are about another 8 in the back milling about. A pity the boss man isn't there as I'm sure he'd fire a rocket up their arse.

Peugeot main dealer? You'd hope they'd be fairly sensible price wise and would be good quality.
A mate swears by Mercedes dealer parts and rarely buys anywhere else, not silly $$$ either. BMW are of course champions league pisstakers - £240 for a Behr viscous fan coupling for an E30 that is £60 elsewhere. I cannot understand this mentality. You make money by selling stuff, yes?

My genuine Peugeot main stealer's genuine Peugeot rear wiper blade proudly made in some fucking tin shed with sand floor by some Tunisian children sold to Morocco lasted two fucking days. Give them kiddos at least proper rubber to work with, ffs!
Peugeot is not Mercedes. In fact nobody else is.
Mercedes is the only company where you can walk into a main dealer's and say I need a Ziehschnarl and a Doppelschnapper for my 1991 230 E and five seconds later they drop them on the counter in front of you and say 'that'll be 3.47, M8'. The downside is you have to own one of their dismal shitpiles for this.
My Peugeot main dealer doesn't even have a key making facility anymore, they have no parts counter and they wish you'd drop dead if you mention the number 405. All Peugeot parts in the North West are stored in a facility at Trafford Park, pretty much around the corner from Notsterlingandthewrongpartseverytimefuckyouverymuch. They binned the microfiches and computah sez noooooh. If you then tell them it's the same fucking brake pads as in the 306, which is in the bloody computer, they say but computah sez nooooh. If you then plunk down a used brake pad you just removed from your 405 and ask them to compare this with the 306 ones, they do it and agree it's the same. If you then ask them "now what do you trust? Your eyes, or the bloody computer? their answer is "well, obviously the computer, sir.
I can wank too, I have you know, but contrary to those dolts, I have at least a tiny bit of gloop to show afterwards.

Besides, Trafford Park looks more war torn and dodgy than the facility in Morocco where they have children enslaved.
It's fucking baffling how run down one of the richest countries in the World chooses to be for sod all reason whatsoever.
