I know they've been mentioned a few times on here before, but I thought I'd make a specific thread for them as they've come in useful for me on several occasions.
Car Parts Connexion
Basically it's a parts website for Saab and Vauxhall, which allows them to advertise discounted parts through the dealership network. You can search by description, or simply input the part number itself.
I'm fitting new front brakes next week, and as the rears on my V6 CDTi aren't looking too healthy I thought it would silly not to do them when I'm fitting Goodridge hoses and changing the brake fluid at the same time.
A quick check with some dealerships and eBay was giving prices varying between 70 and 100 squid, which I thought was shocking seeing as the 314mm front pad and disc kit is only £72+VAT from VX themselves...
Grabbing the part number from here (93186301) and chucking it into Google brought up Car Parts Connexion who I'd used before, and came up with three dealerships offering the kit. The cheapest was 44 quid, but they said they'd ran out and then removed it from the site, but the second people I e-mailed came back with a positive...
Today's bargain was a disc and pad set for the 292mm rear setup, coming out at £48.50...
Collected from them in person, but most will post out too in my experience.
Always worth a check for any part you're after, but take the RRP's they list with a pinch of salt...
