I don't think that they live up to their reputation, although I sure that TB will say otherwise!  ;)  ;D

I find ECP excellent so long as you don't need to use their 'customer service team' They are piss poor. >:(

Today, a large parcel arrived. It consisted of 3 x 500 ml of spray on de-icer, along with a sturdy scraper. Total cost £5...including delivery.

I hope you don't have a sinister use for these, Mr Emd? ;)

The cardboard box it  arrived in was the size of a small planet. Not much margin for profit I should think.

The two pound something or other wiper blades from ECP  are far better than the £9 RAC shit I previously used.

It is worth noting that ; www.carparts4less.co.uk are the same people as ECP. They are cheaper than ECP 90% of the time. They do online only, and no collection from ECP units. Use code 'saveme75' for some discount.

On balance I've been happy with ECP, they supplied me with a valeo rear wiper unit for a 1 series BMW that was cheaper than used valeo units on ebay!

Some parts I will only use direct from a franchise dealer, but for generic bits you can't go wrong with ECP!

EuroShiteParts always have a 50% sale. Or rather, they occasionally overinflate some prices for the legal time in order to have a 50% sale.

Like DFS really. Only DFS's stuff is almost half decent. And genuine.

EMD - those prices don't sound particularly good  :-X

The prices do fluctuate, for example;

A 2010 L322 Range Rover headlight from ECP is £495, then sometimes it is £415
From CP4L with discount code, it is suddenly £377.

Used, with light damage lights are sold on ebay for £320ish.

So, using them can be very good. But the price of oil isn't great. A future acquisition requires 0w-30 oil, with Volvo discount I can get Castrol from a Volvo franchise cheaper than the oil from ECP I've never heard of.

But, I would still maintain they do have good deals, if you are picky.
