And the car they are for?
If it's a Sierra then I would try Halfords.

What's wrong with your local motor factors? There has to be one local with a counter to collect parts. Always cheaper than Halfrauds and with the saving you can afford to move up a quality level.

Rally Design?
I'm always a bit sceptical about buying safety critical components from fleabay unless you know the company - there are a lot of counterfeit parts out there.
(Waits for torrent of abuse from ebay traders).

I got mine from ebcbrakesdirect - I've had Halfords pads which have lasted no time, started crumbling away after a few thousand miles on my tintop. Never used them since.....

Cheers

I second that

I use PCP up in this part of the world and I can't fault the service - they even let me swap my unused sierra discs for granada ones at no cost after 9 months


SeaBass - out of interest who do you use ?

Local motor factor should be your first stop. I use mine for these sort of parts and have built up a good relationship with them which is handy when you want to wander around their stores looking for bits that might meet your needs. Especially useful when looking for hoses for the cooling system as they have a big bin of odds and ends

There usually the cheapest source as theres no P&P to consider and your often suuporting a locla trader too.

What he said!

Please support your local motor factors! In my experience, they provide a great service and good prices!
