.... thanks to grays motor factors at london ;)
beware of cheap discs ;) they're generally cheap cos they're made cheaply and often run out of true in a relatively short time/distance. My cheap discs on my Senator years ago were from Brakes International (oop North) and ran out within about 3/4000 miles. OE discs on a Trade Club card are only around £100 inc pads :y
-
yep i paid £103 for front discs pads and a wear sensor (all vauxhall parts) :y

made by Apec, pay for what you get these days and £7 each is good if you can get 3/4000 miles out of them, cannot complain for £7 can you really :) (New) :y :)

Jeez - for £7 mate doubt you'll even get that out of them ;)

Given the choice between driving with discs fitted that cost £7 each, or taking the bus, I know which one I would be doing. :o
Never skimp on tyres or brakes.

With all due respect, I fail to see why discs would be called "old stock"? It's not like they are a fashion item, (last seasons range), or a perishable item like bread or milk. Nor should they go rusty, protected as they are in that wax / grease like coating, or even like tyres which actually do have a shelf life.

I'm totally and utterly failing to see the point of this post. Do you work for Grays Motor Factors? ::)
-
Apec are a 'known' brand .... so don't see how you can go wrong at that price!
-
agreed apec are a widely used/known brand in the motor trade,my mates garage fits them to alot of vehicles and has never had any comebacks so imo £7 is a bargain :y
-
