Now the Oil Filter - once £4:05 - is now, £6:53!!

Thats a 61% Rise - IN 6 MONTHS!!!! - SUBARU!!!!!

What have you got to say to that then!!



AND, why can I buy Brake Pads for £21:84 and you want £105:56????

AND, why can I buy Discs for £65:55 a pair and you want £102:53????

You are just RIPPING off your loyal followers and IT'S NOT ON!!!

STOP IT!!!

i'm guessing the pads are apec?

pslewis

Spot on, they have to meet 90% of the OEM spec. ..... so, instead of lasting 67,500 miles - they may 'only' last 60,000miles.

I can live with that

pete, they are cheap because they are ****.

will be fine for your gentle braking foot, but if for some reason you have a mad mist moment, say escaping from thrown fruit at a certain scooby event for charity, then don't expect them to stay fade free for long. bordering on dangerous in my opinion.

i am supprised that Subaru havnt tried selling Skid Marks yet

pslewis

You miss the point of the EU 90 Regulations, which state that the patented braking parts must be at least 90% as good as the originals.

I have had the originals on for 67,000+miles and have never suffered brake-fade ...................

This is just one of those 'Myth-Moments' ... you know how they go by now, "Thats cheap, they cannot be any good whatsoever! Now, if they tripled the price we would buy them coz we would sleep better!"

My point is really the high charges for Subaru Branded Service Items!!

Pete

pslewis

They sell sparks for my angle grinder .... £9:99 a bag!!

ScoobyNet members are charged £99:99 because the sparks must be crap at £9:99!!

no pete, i've used them and they are pants.

agree that £100 plus for scooby pads are a **** take, my pagids didn't cost alot more and they are great

the 90% test is probably that they must stop within no less than 10% of original or something daft like that. about the wooliest statement i've ever heard.

and no, i didn't get brake fade with my usual driving with my subaru official pads either. the apecs were a different story.

if they are that crap wouldnt Trading Standards be interested as they are making false claims by saying they are a better product than what they really are?

pslewis

How much were the PAGIDS then?? Not much more? Let me guess - £34:99??

Pete

hoskib

iTrader: (1)

**** knows, depends how good they claim to be i suppose.

they would probably argue that i shouldn't drive like a **** though

hoskib

iTrader: (1)

you funny guy pete

sarasquares

iTrader: (1)

by the looks of it they were claiming to be 10% less better than the originals

so in other words Pete may have been right and your argument was based on ****** driving and you may well have been wrong

hoskib

iTrader: (1)

for gods sake woman, don't tell pete he may be right. we won't hear the last of it

sarasquares

would it make it any less painfull if you looked at it the other way........you was wrong

pslewis

You said they were 'not much more'

What is 'not much more' than £21:84?? I thought £34:99 was MUCH more!!

So, I guess they are, what then? £24:99??

Anything MORE than £34:99 is NOT, by any stretch of the imagination, 'not much more'

And I don't drive like a **** so they will do me just fine

Pete

hoskib

iTrader: (1)

nah, not much more than the £100+ subaru wanted you tool

hoskib

iTrader: (1)

me, wrong??

ScoobyDoo555

Pete - I think you'll find that the price increases only apply to you........

And the reason?


Whilst there have been some failed attempts to ban you, where they have failed on ScoobyNet, obviously there are some sympathisers within the IM camp......


It's all a conspiricy

what do you want me to say?

pslewis

So, in your world ... £100 is 'not much more' than £21:84??

Could I interest you in some bags of very cheap shredded paper?? I get it for 50p a bag - you can have it for 'not much more', £9:99 a bag - deal??

Unlike "fast road" pads which don't work properly on cold emergency stops, of course
Not like that ever happens (like almost every motorway trip)

Of course the advertising tosh will always claim "good bite when cold" Hell, my Gran's dentures could bite harder than some ....actually, it's not funny or a matter to joke about.

pslewis
