Eurospares UK - experience?

Seems very unlikely that the parts alone for a cambelt service are £1400- that is what a Maranello Sales (UK main dealer) charges for doing the cambelt service for a 355. You may well need tensioners too, which are extra.

I've heard good things about Eurospares. I would however want to make absolutely sure that they were the original Ferrari parts- the consequences of an inferior patterned cambelt part failing on your car are not worth thinking about...

Why not drive your car to Verdis, have its cambelts done, and have a little holiday in the UK!

not aware fo any scams, most of the specialists over here charge the same as Verdi's

I've used Eurospares and they seem very good but I would also give QV London a call if you are going to buy the parts +44 1344 622011 they seem to be able to do the Tensioner Bearings very competitively as well

 

I've bought a few items, some OEM, that were fine, but the pattern parts were poor quality & I didn't use them on the car.

The telephone service was very arrogant, I personally would not use them again.

 

From what ive seen of the place its no more than a muddy breakers yard, so you get what you pay for....

 

bought a few bits, both new and s/hand. s/hand I thought expensive but then there not much choice!
Went to the store personally and found everyone there helpful and friendly.

 

Sorry, my post above is utter rubbish! I misread and thought it was Superformance!

I've not had any contact with Eurospares.

 

348 belts (and all others) are just proprietary parts, off the shelf, and certainly not made specially for (or by) Ferrari. Buy them from Ferrari and the usual mark-up applies, buy them from Continental and you get a reasonable price. The product is the same.

 

Used "Eurospares"on many occasions had no prob with either delivery or quality of the parts.

I haven't used Eurospares, so can't comment on them directly. However, I've used a few different people for spares, but from now on always check the Ferrari UK spares website because sometimes they are cheaper than or the same price as the specialists and you know you are getting the proper parts. I don't always buy from them, but I do check their prices.

 

I have used eurospares, and found them helpful and competative.
They even took back an item that was the wrong spec, and changed it for the right one.

They have supplied new items when they had nil stock.

Very helpful, i have had no r4eason to complain.

I bought the 348 service kit from Eurospares in March last year. I insisted I wanted pukka parts that would be as per OEM fit.

The kit that was sent very quickly.

Oil filter - as OEM (also has Ferrari logo)
Fuel filters - correct Bosch as OEM (although the first package only had one in it, I had to chase a second up!)
Timing belt - as OEM
Aircon belt - as OEM
Alternator belt - beware! if you have a Remy Delco (GM 105) alternator you need a different part number to the more common Nippondenso version you could be sent (wouldn't fit), or even another type (very tight but could go on if you forced it, also wrong tooth form). I also got sent a 355 belt by mistake. Having said this Eurospares were very helpful and had no issue with sending replacement items, all of which arrived next day post!
Air filter - as OEM supply
Tensioners - a pair are included and are the most expensive part of the kit, hence the kits price. Not convinced the supplied tensioners are the latest 'improved' standard and I'm not sure how one can determine one way or the other.
The only items I ended up being short of that I requested specifically were washers for the fuel filter unions and also washers for the oil drain plugs (sump and tank)

Eurospares can supply the correct OEM plugs too, although I opted for superior NGK versions, but in any case these are not part of the Eurospares packaged service kit.


Regarding Ferrari UK spares, they would appear to provide a superb service to those on this site who have dealt with them , but unfortunately they ain't into 348 stuff yet (and the time this is taking is seriously annoying as the model is now 10 yrs out of production!)

 

I tried to contact these guys by email to find out - no response so far as well.

 

Drew...

I have heard that Ferrari can take upto about 3 weeks to respond to new registrants to the site. Plus, there are no 348 parts for sale on the Classic Parts website.

We do have 348 parts here and can get them so let me know what you need.

QAEV..Sorry we didn't answer your enquiry...what was it ?

Thanks.

 

Jeff

Thanks. I was enquiring whether Ferrariparts.co.uk were going to do 348 spares but you seem to have answered it with this message. Any idea if/when this might happen?

Thanks

Quentin

 

Quentin.

Well, logically the next load of parts to be released to us would be 348, Testarossa, F40 etc, and historically these are released when a model platform has been out of production for 10 years. I know discussions are under way but have no real 'news' for you yet.

But again - this makes no difference to how we operate today. If you want us to get you a 348 bit we will ! It may be instock but if not we'll get it from the Factory !

Hope this helps.

 

Jeff

Thanks. I'll call to see if you have the bits I'm after.
