|
|
I have had dealings with both and both have been great, quick delivery & helpful, I purchased the rear heater pipes from Milners and the timing chain guide from Mitsubishi genuine garage, now I need to purchase the timing chain kit, £186.00 all in from Milners (VAT and postage) and genuine parts from Mitsubishi are £225 and I can pick the parts up myself. Not a great deal of difference although I am awaiting on what bits are included in the kit from Mitsubishi.
Would you purchase this part from Milners or would you always go genuine? |

Not much extra to get genuine - so I would get genuine ones. |

It would be a no brainer wouldnt it, but direct from Mitzi you have to get loads of extras that arnt included in the "kit" to get the same stuff you would pay over £400 straight from Mitzi... |

Speaking as someone that's had a 'so, so' experience with Milners over the years, I'd say spend the extra. "The quality is always remembered when the price is forgotten" |

If you cant stretch to genuine try your local motor factors. |
