£13.99 including delivery and a filter is probably cheaper than GM 10/40 semi-synth, even with trade card :y

It does not seem to work unfortunatly - "One or more of the products you have chosen are not included in the promotion code you have used and will therefore not benefit from the promotion code. However you will still be able to progress with your order. For a list of products that are included in the promotion, click here."

You get the filter but not the discount on the oil.

I got both. The  oil cost £19.99 less 30% which equals  £13.99. When I chose the filter it showed at £0.00

So £13.99 for both. Offer open til 30/6/14. :y

That ok in my 17 year old un  :-\ Just that you see the recommended oil and wonder is it just the cost that say vauxhall would not use full fat  :-\ Thinking also that full synthetic would maybe suit the hydraulic lifter's better  :-\ :-\

Perhaps a blessing in disguise. :y

The bastards at Eurocarparts have sent me the wrong filter (even though I gave them the registration number of the car) and are refusing to exchange it.

Usually they are pretty good.........but their customer service is shite. >:(

I dont think there the same Company, despite a lot of people saying CP4L is a Sister Co to ECP.

If you buy from CP4L most stock will come boxed ECP, but ECP do sell a lot to the Trade, theres another one called Micks Garage co.uk or something, again very similar Web Site.

My advice would be before you buy anything from ECP check the price on CP4L, although they dont always offer the full ECP Range.

Also worth checking for any Discount Codes for CP4L as there do seem to offer good discounts accross there product range for £50 or £100+ spend amounts, anything from 5 to 15% off your total spend, which often works out cheaper than ECP even with there so called 50% Sale.  :y

Also worth checking out Carparts4less and ECP's ebay listings which are often cheaper than direct from the website!   ;)

I bought an Exide battery for the Omega recently from Carparts4less via ebay, for £50 with a 3 year guarantee.  Ordered 2.00pm and it arrived at 10.00am next day!!  :y :y :y
