    I’ve had some good deals from them in the past but they seem to have upped their prices quite a lot recently, and even with offers they’re no cheaper than many other places, especially for decent oil I’ve found.

    Sounds like most Black Friday "deals" to me too. The camera lens I was considering suddenly went up 30% and was "discounted" by 15%. Good job I can do maths.

    Buyer beware.if you don't do research, its your own fault. :p

    I'm waiting on an oil filter from ECP , found one on their site, applied code and got a price. Opened eBay up, price was close to double, so ECP buy was made. :D

    I looked at the oil offer last week and wasnt too impressed, seemed to be a couple of quid off what I get it on eBay for, certainly no more.

    Just checked, oil filter for ST from carparts4less is £6.01. I paid £4.94 from ECP. Ok with the code it was £8.99.
    eBay best is £6.77.

    Not saying they are the answer to all your prayers, but with codes they can be the cheapest.
    And as mentioned, being Scottish, every penny is a prisoner.

    In the case of violent/untimely deaths coroners need to make a ‘finding’ of fact for attribution of cause and consequent responsibility. One of:

    * accident or misadventure
    • alcohol/drug related
    • industrial disease
    • lawful killing
    • unlawful killing
    • natural causes
    • open
    • road traffic collision
    • stillbirth
    • suicide

    Appears on the death certificate and official record. You may recall in ‘No Country for Old Men’ Tommy Lee Jones laconically speaking of the dead drug dealers as having died of natural causes given their line of work.....
