    TBH your better off to go to a Local auto parts store
    At least if you are sold a wrong part you can go back in and get it changed.

    I was sold wrong parts 3 times by micks garage.
    One of them a clutch...which we didn't realise until we had the engine and gearbox apart and old clutch our....at 11:30 at night .

    I agree, motor factors are under rated. Mahle or Mann would probably have been the original filters in that car I'd say.

    I've never had an issue with parts from Mick but do shop local when you can.

    Anything I ever bought from them was either wrong or I had some issue with it. They have a good returns policy but who wants that hassle. The latest are wind deflectors that trigger the safety on the electric windows so I pulled them off the car. Crap
