Euro Car Parts

[Rat Catcher]

Seems to have reverted to competitive pricing again with prices more comparable to their UK sites - Euro Car Pars and Car Parts 4 Less - in fact in some instancee lower than UK prices... and they've dropped the Team PR Reilly logo. Worth comparing with Micks Garage and your local motor factors if your in the market for bits and pieces anyway!

Do yis all change yer sump plugs and washers?

Mine are the same ones since 2013.No leaks either.

I always change the plug... I've a jar full of them in me shed!

They are about 2 quid I usually change it when I change the Filter ..I get the Spanner Jockey to change out the Filter but I use an oil extractor between major services .Change the oil twice a year .I do about 20K a year .

That's a lot of oil changing. I do mine every 20,000 kilos and that's somewhere between 7,000 and 10,000 kilos ahead of manufacturer's recommendation.... although I done it after 9,946 kilos once during COVID '19 anall, the rationale being that almost 14 months had lapsed since it's previous change - despite manfacturer recommendation being 24 months.... so again well ahead of schedule.

Twice yearly includes the Spanner Jockey .I do it myself once between services .so average change 10K

Mine has to be specified VW504.00 / VW507.00... always at least €15 dearer than any other 5W30 FS for some reason.
