THis applies to all big main dealers . I can guarantee Alan Day (thieves) get at least 5 big deliveries a day at their southgate VW branch from ECP

I feel like I'm taking part in question time in the Houses of Parliament !

I know Volvo don't manufacture their own brake components they are made by ATE to Volvo specifications and then packaged as genuine Volvo parts.

I'd be surprised if ECP supply Volvo dealers with brake components that the dealer sells as genuine.

Smile I agree with griston :)

I too very much doubt that Volvo dealers buy in parts from ECP, volvo has a pretty impressive parts delivery network with (as far as i can tell) dealers getting 2 + deliveries a day from a localised warehouse. I also suspect they wouldnt be allowed to sell an-others non genuine parts with their dealer agreement or whatever exists with volvo,, maybe someone inside the buis can enlighten us here,...
