Theres yer problem. Euro Car Parts doesn't do prescriptions.

Always found ECP extremely helpful and knowledgeable.

Tried GSF once and just got barely a grunt from the guy on desk.

For the NI members, the motor factors in Merville, near the Abbeycentre is worth a recommendation, very knowledgeable and keenly priced.

Halfrauds is hit and miss.

Seems a strange way to get the parts from the National Ploughing Association
Do you have to follow the tractor until it brings up the parts you want?
Very hit and miss if you ask me

the expensive pollen filters have carbon in dont they ?

so i'm guessing the £6 odd one wont and it will just be a simple paper filter :?

Thinking of getting a K+N for the Honda Vtec.

Was hoping a better airflow might use slightly less fuel. Probably well overdue a service too, I'll get stuck into that in the next few weeks.

50k service period for the filter, reoil and clean.

Anyone used one? Any use? Or just snakeoil?
