    delivery is usually prompt (esp if you have someone indoors that can sign for the stuff)

    ive got a feeling the top mounts i got from them last year are dead

    i got a stat from them too, and my oil temps are pretty high.

    Yep I use these too, ordered a load of bits then an hour later I forgot I'd missed off a wishbone fitting kit, sent them an email and they just added it to the order - saved me more postage costs.

    Also recommended - Ive bought loads from them from when they first started out a good few years back. They always send good quality parts (Febi/Beru etc) and are even cheaper than GSF who have gone down hill recently IMO with crappy parts and useless till staff we dont know their **** from their elbow.

    Only gripe is that with my last order they sent some cheap wiper blades that were less than useless (was expecting Bosch ones?) so I left them on for one days rain and then had to go to GSF to get some decent ones!

    But yeah, top company - buy your bits from them!

    Highly recommended - unlike GSF their 16v head bolts don't go soft, they're generally cheaper, and delivery is very quick.

    I wish they had a bigger range of stuff, but what they've got is generally very good.

    I don't think FEBI top mounts are up to the job if you're running stiffer suspension. Shame, as I've got them on both of my sciroccos, running stiffer suspension!

    They've supplied loads of stuff to me that hasn't been on their website so always worth asking.

    I use them all the time also and very good service.

    Yeah, FEBI rubber parts are pretty bad but then again what do you expect for 6.50 compared to roughly 36 from VAG...

    Stiff suspension really knackers them too so maybe worth actually going back to the early MK2 G60 ones (from VAG) if your running coilovers... will make the ride slightly harsher but will last longer.
