dunk1 Posted April 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 A mate who uses them a lot said i'd get a much better deal if i popped into the local shop which is what i did, i told them i could buy genuine Hella here in the UK for £80 and the chap charged me what i posted above. I told him about the one on Amazon and he said he couldn't beat that price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxsake Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 I had a eBay special.. Touchwood its still fine a year later.. Had 12months warranty too.. Cant remeber the make but no issues.. The dodgy car dealer told me the warning light was the oil warming up and i fell for it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunk1 Posted April 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 (edited) I prefer to not risk it on some ebay parts Very poor sales approach from the car trader, i'd imagine he will lose out with the new consumer rights laws that came into place last year, well lets hope so Edited April 15, 2016 by dunk1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_330CI Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 I wouldn't buy any car parts on ebay. Most of them are fake and fail in half the time. Sign up for GSF's mailing list and every week they'll send you a code for 40-50% off parts. ibrahimx2001 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a look on GSF's site and it doesn't say what make the sensor is, i'll sign up to get future discount codes though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
