Euro car parts discount code

[SeeFive]

Just a heads up in case anyone needs some parts.

Needed a cheap new battery for the RAV4 as it is old and sluggish on turnover in this cold weather. Went online and saw a reasonably priced one at ECP. Noticed a discount code at the top of the screen FEB10.

I put that in on reserve and collect and it almost halved the cost of my battery down to 35 quid, and I can collect today from my local store as they open on Sundays.

Might be of use to someone on here - it is an end of month code, so only valid for 3 days or so.

By the way, I am in no way connected with ECP, just trying to help fellow pistonheaders.

Surely you must know that ECP are the DFS of the car parts world...they ALWAYS have one sale on or another.

The 'scam' is that their 'full price' price for an item is £150 (e.g. Z4M front brake disk), then the sale comes along with a 50% discount code, but the 'full price' is £300 - so you still pay £150. The other 'scam' is that when there's an offer on, the part you're after is mysteriously out of stock and thus not included in the offer.

Just go to their sister site CarParts4Less and you'll get the 'discounted' prices almost all of the time.

BTW, I'm not saying don't use them...just saying that don't always assume they'll always be the cheapest just because they've got yet another discount code up.

^ What he said. You can sometimes get good deals at ECP, even more so if you compare prices with Halfrauds.

Here's an example:

(1) Input my reg for a MINI Clubman battery and these are the prices:
£279.99Exide
£309.99BoschAGM
£229.99Lion
£249.99Duracell

(2) Google 096 battery and click on the ECP link:
£163.99Exide
£175.99BoschAGM
£229.99Lion
£209.99Duracell

Current code is Feb70 = £90 for a Bosch using option 2.

DFS - no ECP are worse.
