car parts direct.........has anyone ever used this company? are they any good?
i am looking to buy a car part from them and they say it comes with a 2 year guarantee and all i have to do is send the old part so i don't have to pay the £40. it's not that i mind doing this...i just don't want to pay for something over the phone then be ripped off...

Right not cheap things, i guess they want your old one as either an old unit when they send a new one out or are they taking it to recondition it?
Cant say ive heard of them

just over £97 to send me a recalibrated one with 2 year guarantee...be with me by tuesday...but i have to send old one back within 14 days or i get charged £40...i would go for it but im not sure if its trustworthy
anyone know of any where else i could get a caliper?

Wondered who you meant for a moment until I recalled the red vans with the white writing driven by suicidal drivers up and down the A9.

After having been cut up by numerous vans of this description, I would not recommend buying brake (not break (sic)) parts from this company, as they obviously have no experience of them
