Sphere suppliers

[RichardW]

Wherea are you guys getting spheres from these days? Not bought any for a (long) while, but I can't ignore them any more! used to get them from GSF, but not sure I fancy negotiating their website....

Getting the rears off might be interesting - they are probably the 11.5 years / 135k originals....

AEP Direct, or CitroenServices as they are known through Ebay.. The IFHS spheres I find are far superior then Amtek spheres, as I HAVE had hard spheres from them, and sometimes spheres that have been gassed over a year ago.. 9.8 times out of ten AEP spheres (IFHS) are never more then a few months old..

I only use gsf site occasionally, and only recently really.. but I dont find it too bad ?

Last time I checked they were on a par with gsf's old prices so another reason to go with aep

The other alternative is Malcolm Lockwood in Bradford. As an independent supplier of Citroen parts he has to be worth supporting. I recently bought a few spheres from him and he still has some stock of Amtek but has switched to Suplex, a German make. These are new spheres, not remanufactured and they are on a par, for price & quality, as all the other suppliers.

Hi Richard,

I got a set of spheres for the V6 from aepdirect.com. Their head office is in Rutherglen, so I just phoned ahead to see if they had stock (which they did) and picked them up directly from their offices.

They're IFHS brand and I have no complaints, they've been on the car since April. The front hydractive regulator sphere was just under a year old but the rest were only 2-3 months old based on manufacturing date codes. Better price than GSF too.

Try carparts4less website, very reasonable.

Could also try Vantage Citroen, very reasonable price £25 and delivery £9 for any amount. Make Lizarte. 020 8544 9998
I won't use GSF spheres any more because I reckon there crap, to hard from me who use's CX Turbo Spheres on a CX Estate and new Prestige.

I used Vantage as well, and for a set of 6 spheres I paid a total of £148.90 (including p&p). The only thing missing was the 4.5mm pipe seal.
