Xantia brake pipes

Post by froggy »

I have just got three very different prices for front flexy brake pipes ( Xantia). Warners Citroen= £46.98 . G.S.F. = £21.60. H and M = £35.88. I think I should buy the cheapest from G.S.F. but is this false economy ? any thoughts, cheers Terry

Last pair I bought, about three months ago, from my local factors: £14.00, inc VAT. Not premium branded but fully compliant with the requirements of the EC regs on pattern car spares being as good, if not better than the OE parts.

These pattern parts exactly matched the original ones that came off the car, baring the cracks in the rubber and it would be hard to tell the difference.
