Great Service Great Price [COLOR=Red]German Swedish & French Car Parts[/COLOR] :thewave:
These prices are excellent!! £59.00 + VAt for my bearing (£70 + VAT @ euro) x
They are a good outfit, and the parts are top quality. I've bought several bit from then and most for 25% of Volvo's prices and they've always had it in stock were's my local Volvo dealer didn't even have 2 S70 / V70 Windscreen Washer Nozzles in now how tight its that :eek:
i've got a discount card for GS&F but never actually used them :shifty:
[QUOTE=covcrew.co.uk]i've got a discount card for GS&F but never actually used them :shifty:[/QUOTE] How'd you get that, and how much extra do you get off, it it was any cheaper they'd end up paying us to take the bits from them :eek:
i got it when i became a member of "peeping toms vw club" (i know i haven't got a vw). It doesn't state what percentage discount it is (just labelled as a Privilege card, i'll use it 1 day & find out :shifty: )

[QUOTE=Bracer]Right I'll have a word and see about sorting a Club Membership discount :wink:[/QUOTE] might be an idea
[QUOTE=covcrew.co.uk]might be an idea[/QUOTE] I will see what I can arrange :wink:
prices are great, and products are great, but sorry to say when it comes to giving me the correct spark plugs for my T5 they ain't got a clue.
Too good to be true? It is if you have T5! No exhausts listed for mine on web so called local in Southampton. "I'm afraid not enough demand for it" was the response. At less than 1/2 price for some of the other models I'm sure there would be demand. Never mind. Anyone got another reliable, CHEAP supplier down south? I’d hate to have to send the misses out on the streets on Easter weekend again.
GSF Brembo discs for my 'speedy swede' 22.50 plus VAT each sorted :)
ok stage o parts i got today are---dist cap £9--rotor arm £6.75--ign lead set£39.50---bosch spark plugs £24.75---thermostat(87deg)£6.25---fuel filter£12.90----k+n panel filter£35--rubber upper engine mount(just the rubber donut)£5.95 JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA all genuine parts
I continue this thread. I was wondering wich is the best Website to buy parts? I saw this one. But in the list parts i only see, and this true for most of them, S70 and rarely C70. Ok i know that engine are the same, but i always hesitate. I'll check the part Nbr. Ok this is my website list : http://www.vlvworld.com/850/Section_2_9.htm http://www.europeantuning.com/motor.htm http://www.swedishpartswholesale.com/C70-T-001_1998_parts.html http://www.eurosporttuning.ca/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?screen=ctgy&category_code=VL-C70-oem-en-elec http://www.autohausaz.com/volvo_parts/volvo_c70_25.html As You can see, i want to change the ignition. About this, is there a way to change this? a Guide to follow, or is it just "PLUG & PLAY" ? Thank you
Yup i'm often in GSF in Leam. Go in knowing what you want, open and check it, and pay a teeny bit of the volvo price - excellent. Air filter was £8 something.
My front indicator lenses came from G.S.F. much cheaper than volvo!

Also, tell them you're a member of a club (at GSF) and they'll give you an extra 10% off on most items.

Luckily my local GSF is alittle more Volvo aware. Im going to do a little ignition service (plugs, leads, cap and rotor) very very soon and was wondering if it was ok to get most of the parts from gsf?

[QUOTE=siamblue] and they were bougicords, Gary[/QUOTE] Is that good?
[QUOTE=BlackBeast]Is that good?[/QUOTE] Think that is the same company that Volvo get them from anyone like to differ? Gary, work fine mate.
Just done the ignition leads, spark plugs, rotor arm, distrubutor cap, and fuel filter All parts ordered from partsforvolvosonline, total cost £123, parts arrived at my door the day after ordering. Their online ordering is simple.

If you do dont tell me :jaw: :slap:
when i ran a local VW club GSF said they would do a club discount. You then just mention which club you are affiliated to. I'm sure if a mod contacted the head office, we would get a 10% discount without having to blag!!!
