Peter C Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I’d like to make use of the summer35 discount code but the ECP website doesn’t list service parts for my W124. I don’t want to pay full price. What are my options? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgeRover Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Buy from someone else who are cheaper and be in with a fair chance of getting the correct parts Lacquer Peel, Tadhg Tiogar, Wingz123 and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacquer Peel Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 It works if you use the drop down menu and select a 1991 E Class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelandeth Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Based on my experience so far: check at the main dealers first. You may be surprised. They were cheaper or within a quid or two than the usual websites for service parts for my van. Only thing they couldn't match was on engine oil. They were mind bogglingly efficient as well... dome 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamworthbay Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Two and half weeks later and the fuckwits still haven’t managed to send me the correct oil. I mean it’s not hard is it? Just pick the oil that matches the one on the order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lacquer Peel Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I've never had any trouble with ECP but I'd prefer to support local motor factors, they're often the same price or cheaper even with ECP's spurious weekly flash sales. matty879 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamworthbay Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 The only thing I use them for is oil, they always seem a good tenner cheaper even with my various trade cards. But only buy with their stupid discounts. Are they owned by the same people who run the ultimate shit hole that is DFS?

lisbon_road Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 And lowest is carparts4less on eBay, which is totally mad. Don't have everything though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zelandeth Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Forgot to mention, I stopped using ECP altogether a few years ago when they managed to send me, four times in a row, the wrong air filter for the Saab. Right part on the website...the one for the N/A 8v...and the 16v one kept appearing on the website. Clown on the desk at the store just said "computer says they're the same..." Irrespective of me holding two filters in front of him that are a good 4" different in height. Never got a bloody refund either. Still have one of the 16V filters in the garage somewhere I think! My first choice these days is Motorserv for general stuff (main dealer for the Merc, Lada directly for it), followed by GSF usually for fluids.

Captain Furious Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I vented spleen about it on here at the time but ECP sent me the wrong windscreen wipers for my Mondeo. Well, more accurately they sent me the ones i'd ordered, which they said were the right ones but weren't. I don't understand why it returns multiple parts for the same car even though some of them blatantly don't fit. Its made me doubt everything else on there now. Not to mention the Head Gasket set for a 205 GTi that didn't include a friggin head gasket! Same day delivery though. Not convinced about their 'flash sales' though, when I wanted a battery, even with 40% off it was the same price as other places charging full whack.
