Dealer?

If you buy three or four - sometimes only two - and ask for a discount, they're as cheap as anywhere and at least they're genuine purflux?

Don't ask, you won't get! The margins on service parts are huge.

Nothing wrong with Mann. They are original equipment for several (mostly German) engine manufacturers.

GSF are meant to be Purflux agents,

There was a Chinese company on Aliexpress selling Purflux filters. "Made in France" :roll:

Mann or Purflux, they are both good.

I used to buy Purflux oil filter for my Xantia which was made in Spain :wink:

Is there really that much difference? I've never had problems with any filters I've used on my long-term cars. They're usually Halford or whatever I come across first on ebay, though I think the Berlingo has a genuine Purflux on it at the moment as I bought a service kit with oil and air filters last time I did it.
