And if people with that experience had been there to share it beforehand I would probably not have gone down this route.
However, with the stable door swinging loosely in the wind and the horse out of sight over the horizon, here I am.

Which is exactly why I have maintained this thread so that others gain the benefit of my experience BEFORE parting with their cash.

Also, in the far too many years to remember I’ve been buying from them, I’ve never previously had ONE issue with them. Quality/availability/price/delivery so that’s why I bought from them again :thumbsup:

Different opinion now of course after mine and Enuff’s recent experiences

    The thing is with euro is that the majority of the stuff they sell is rubbish
    Forget what the box says, euro group own half the companies so any piece of Chinese junk can be put into an (ex) premium brand box and you think your getting value .

    Many in the trade won’t use ECP... and ECP are happy about that , the motor trade is more demanding and savvy about what is being supplied.

    The public just see a product that’s cheap and available, and 80% of the time that business model works and that’s how Euro thrive.

    Some of the parts supplied are shocking quality, and should any issues arrive then a brick wall of silence and/or months of placation ensue.

    My advice is to buy off your local independent parts factor, yes it will be a fiver more expensive but you will have a face to talk too if something goes wrong.
    And as a bonus you will have proper parts, not ones that have been fitted before, rejected, faulty or incorrect
