Conor Posted April 9, 2008 Report Posted April 9, 2008 £5.22. The price I've just paid for a set of new brake pads for my Capper from Halfords. I was gobsmacked they had them on stock and that was before they told me how much they were. OK, so I get trade but even without trade they were under £8. Sure, they're no EBCs but they're not too bad either. A set of pads for the price of a pack of fags. Madness. Stuff Ebay.
ZetecVan 2.0 Posted April 9, 2008 Report Posted April 9, 2008 Shops are cheaper than ebay for some stuff. My local garage said don't buy track rod ends or anything like that off ebay, as they're cheaper at the local motor factors.
lee_capri Posted April 9, 2008 Report Posted April 9, 2008 great stuff bargin put them on ebay but you make a profit just make the box look old
Capripete Posted April 10, 2008 Report Posted April 10, 2008 You'll find out why they're so cheap if you drive it hard, mine were fading and smoking after a quick run! Took em straight off and got some mintex. Much better!
FredTransit Posted April 10, 2008 Report Posted April 10, 2008 People believe the hype of ebay. Lots of stuff is easily available for OSFs over the counter. Too many people think classic cars are difficult to get parts for, they don't actually try.
