As far as I'm aware, NGK are the recommended for ordinary use, Denso Iridium are very good for uprated ones, I used them in my VR6 and have all intentions of putting then in the E30 when the time comes

[tha881]

Standard bosch works best for me in the m20, none of this super 4 plus rubbish, if it ignites fuel then it doesnt matter what electrode is on it

[polsta]

are them ngk the correct (best ngk) ones to use ?

sorry if this sounds like a stupid question
also with brake pads- they do pagid front pagid rear, and also pagic break shoes rear, do i need all 3 ? the shoes are the hand break ?

[Rtaylor2208]

Rear disk brakes have shoes for the handbrake. No point buying them blind, I would inspect that they need done first.

You would need to inspect them really, if your handbrake is ok I'd probably leave it, if you do what I do and try to replace them, then realise your back plates are rusty, you'll either have to bodge or replace, and you have to pull the hub and replace the wheel bearing to replace the back plate to hold the shoes in place. The back plates are dealer only at £22.17+VAT plus shoes, fitting kit, and bearings. It's a can of worms if they don't really need doing

[daimlerman]

Only time the hand brake shoes contact the drum is when the car is stationary so no wear takes place,unless the back plates corrode allowing the shoes to wander about within the drum...you will know when this happens,as it makes an 'orrible rattling sound!

[polsta]

i do know that, had them pull through the backing plate in my old is and replaced the shoes

are them ngk ones the right plugs ?

what about heater matrix, they have one on there for £40 odd = 30 with the money off, as dash is out and mines 25 years old would it be a good idea to replace it ?

[Meatballs82]

got some parts from euros earlier

Pics or it never happened!

[polsta]

come on you must know what plugs are best out of the ones you sell ? what ones are the ngk exactly ?

[gooner1]

NGK BPR6ES, ftw.

[Kedge]

NGK are the ones that always get recommended for use on BMWs.

[Meatballs82]

come on you must know what plugs are best out of the ones you sell ? what ones are the ngk exactly ?

I've only ever used NGK BPR6ES as mentioned above for my sport, its equivalent to the Bosch W8DC listed in your handbook but with NGK quality.

There's plenty of garages about that won't ever fit Bosch plugs.

Taking Pagid front pads as a random example: ECP = £30.60 -25% = £22.95.
Carparts4less; same pads, same part number = £21.30, plus a further discount of between a minimum of 8% and a maximum of 15% if you spend at least £50.
Some people are easily taken in by Sale! sale! sale! promotions.

Just goes to show its wise to research prices before getting the wallet open!

Do carparts4less offer collection from store and/or is delivery free?

[Meatballs82]

You can pay for next day delivery, but if you can wait a few days its free

[polsta]

actualy, cart for cart of 12 items is about the same price

Yup, same company!

[Meatballs82]

Any Penniless Porsche owners on here?

[Brianmoooore]

It's exactly the same company. The last order I had from them was even boxed up with ECP parcel tape!

as ive just said tho brian re your 1st post - a cart of 12 of the same items is about the same price ! although without the 25% that would be cheaper

[Brianmoooore]

actualy, cart for cart of 12 items is about the same price

Including the CP4L discount on total price? Don't forget to divide the order up into separate orders of exactly £100, with any remainder making up £75 or £50.

where/when does it apply that ? 12 items euros £154, 12 same items cp4l £159 , but its now asking for all my details still saying 159 is what my card wil be charged

or like you say would i do an order £100, and another £59...what would the total be with the discount your saying ?

[milescook]

Wonder if the same is true for demon tweaks and JJC rally, who are *slightly* cheaper. Identical website except for graphics and text, address very close. You have one company competing on ebay with cut throat prices, and another where people pay a bit more because they trust the name!

[polsta]

oh i see the codes now on main page £100 to get £15 off, and £5 off £50 , so it will be £139 total

You'd get £15 off of the £100 order and £5 off of the £59 order.
Alternatively, divide into two orders of just over £75 each, and get £10 off of each. Either way, the total to be paid will be £139.
You have to enter the promo code on your 'basket' screen, then update.

[Brianmoooore]

I really must learn to check to see if a thread has started a new page before posting!

[Brianmoooore]

Just tried a little experiment to see if what I've posted on here before still works.
I made up a random basket of bits on the CP4L site, logged in, then abandoned it at the checkout stage. Sure enough, I've now have an email from them, offering a straight 7.5% off my next order of whatever value.
This little trick can be used when you want to place an order of less than £50.

[Chris_B86]

Crikey, just been pricing up Lemforder control arms, £78 on Euro, £57 on CP4L, and that's before you apply any discount codes!!

Works out at £99 for a pair with the discount

[G-Bear]

You can pay for next day delivery, but if you can wait a few days its free

Their free delivery is pretty quick... Parts ordered recently arrived in two days i think....

[polsta]

does that 7.5% discount email only work i presume if a member/registered and logged in ?

im going to sort this today and get the order done, need to take some bulbs back to ECP aswell so may take the other with me on paper nd say, will you match your own CP4L price its only £15 cheaper and il pay cash and collect, see what they say

[Brianmoooore]

Obviously, otherwise they wouldn't know who to send the email to.

[polsta]

of course, whats the bests what ecp will say ? as i have to go there anyway this arvo im going to try before ordering

brian, is there anything else i should get for a major sort of service/recomission to get back on the road ?

ive left brakes off the order at the moment, is my 325i rear disc ? i cant even remember lol its been that long since off the road

what pads and discs should i be looking at ?

[Meatballs82]

You'll be wanting Pagid discs and pads mate
