GSF have opened a new branch in Newcastle, so finally there is a branch that is local to me. I have no idea when they opened it, my finding out was purely by chance.
If GSF was still hosting this forum, no doubt I would have found out more quickly!
I did mention that there wasn't a Newcastle branch on the old forum a time or two...

The nearest one to me is 15 miles away, Eurocarparts on the other hand are a half mile from my office, so I tend to use them the most- the prices are pretty much the same as is the display of Lexus type rear lights....
Incidentally I did a belt'n'tensioner change on the BX and bought the bits in a kit from these peoplehttp://www.buypartsby.co.uk/.
They did an inclusive Conti labled kit of the tensioner, the other pulley, and a belt for a lot less than the other two, neither of whom did a complete kit or stocked all the items neccesary meaning I would have had to order a bit from one, and a bit from the other.

That is a fantastic tip! I've been wanting to find an online retailer for car bits outside the GSF/Euro remit for years.bxbodger wrote:Incidentally I did a belt'n'tensioner change on the BX and bought the bits in a kit from these peoplehttp://www.buypartsby.co.uk/.

I have used these people for quite a lot of stuff and find them to be very good.

Eurocarparts also list Northampton as opening soon.PowerLee wrote:Theres also a new branch in Northampton.
Spotted it saturday on the industrial estate, I popped in, Its small but well stocked up on Lexus rear lights for Saxos, 206s etc.
It's about time they came here. The nearest ECP is Milton Keynes & nearest GSF was in Leicester too far when you need something fast & Bristol Street Peugeot couldn't give a toss except if if the car doesn't have a 7 on the end of the name.
I wonder if ECP will open up on the same Grafton Ind Estate? That's were a few car parts places seem to be, Partco, CAS & now GSF...
