S1 spark plug & other service item supply - best deals?

[campbell]

Anyone sourced some S1 plugs lately, mine will be due for a change any week now.

Also fuel filter and oil filter.

Just interested in any keen pricing.

Online preferably but factors in Central Scotland will do. Will probably check out Pentland Components as per usual, they are pretty good and certainly handy for my place of work.

Must admit that ebay is my first port of call for these kind of things...

Plugs from Camskill, cheapest I've seen. filters Ebay for a genuine one and oils... Opie maybe?

When I'm home, I'm pretty handy with a spanner.. be back in about a week..

For ref. I sourced the plugs via eBay (thanks Steve) for £20 all in. Excellent.

Pentland Components wanted £33.

However they can supply oil and fuel filters for less than £15, and eBay equivalents come out similar once P&P is included, so I'll just be getting those there.

Pentland come in very handy for some stuff, esp gates cambelt kits at short notice

I always use PartCo.

[campbell]

Used to use Partco in Aberdeen I think.

Are they in C Scotland as well? Couldn't find any web refs for them.

[woody]

They should be, there are branches in Ayrshire anyway.

[steve_weegie]

Aye, got rebranded unipart automotive i think... Branch details below. Handy for some bits too - i got the blue hylomar sealant from them when my local rover garage said "eh? whats that???"

How often do the spark plugs need replaced and would they be picked up during a service?
