I would still buy from the East. I understand that shops have to go through all the proper channels so the prices are higher and I like to support UK shops where I can, but when I can get parts dam near half UK price its a no-brainer really.

There has been the odd occasion where Ive had to buy in desperation but its a very rare thing.

I'm lucky enough to run two cars so if I need a part I don't have I can take it off the other car and bang an order in later, And it helps that I carry alot of spares anyway, which Ive been able to buy lots of because theyre cheap.

Its a catch 22 really.
