mark.b Posted May 29, 2014 Author Share Posted May 29, 2014 Yeh I've used eurocarparts eBay for a Bosch 4yr gtee battery for some reason it was about £40 cheaper than listed on their main site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I've just received 2 rears from here, i emailed them 3 times just to make sure that the price already included the surcharge. They've got pretty solid feedback as well, so thought at that price is worth a punt (especially since I've already had to change callipers twice). and I need to replace one of them already at least I never returned the other ones for the cheap surcharge (was going to get them refurbed and have them as spares) so can take it to get a swap straight away.

dr_broon Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Brake pads last longer than that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Get your original rears refurbished and then swap them back out, sounds sensible to me and I'd hope they'd last longer than a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
