Re: Car Spares
And great to have friends like you en Espana! I can't believe how much more expensive car spare parts, tyres etc are there though - or the reason for that. Does anyone else know why? Or, better still, know where they can be bought in Spain at something approaching UK prices?

Exactly. So how come no-one has got wise to it and opened a KwikFit or similar?

Re: Car Spares
I just sourced the bits Superpot needs and there is no mistake over oil filters, brake pads and the like. As an example, the pads are 80 euros in Spain and equivalent to less than half that in UK. And as to warranty/returns - have you ever tried going back to a parts shop with a part worn brake pad or a tyre for a refund?! With savings like that, it is worth the small risk I reckon.

eurocarparts.com - just make sure you know your engine/vin code and you should be able to get the exact part you need. Shipping to Spain was super cheap too
