partco or specialist for service items

Post by monty55 »

I have a nearby Partco which I'll use for my modern cars - does anyone know if they supply good quality service items for the MM, or is it better to order from the specialists (just thinking of points, plugs etc)
thanks

I use my local Factor for oil filters as they are reasonable price and no postage, also plugs are plugs pretty much. Most Factors would have dealings with CI (Commercial Ignition, part of Quinton Hazell) for ignition parts who are a well known manufacturer/source.

They should be able to get you engine and suspension/brake/steering parts. Go in wearing overalls - and always ask for a discount!
