Just been watching today's Fake Britain on TV, Fake NGK plugs and "Landrover" parts, injectors etc authentic looking boxes. £30K seized by Trading Standards. Beware where you buy.

The fake plugs have been out there for ages, even Motor Factors bought some a few years ago and it wasn't until garages were starting to complain that it was noticed.

EBC were caught a couple of years ago, there coloured pads were being faked. Cheap pads were being sprayed and sold on the bay at half the price of the genuine thing and it gave EBC a bad reputation when pads were starting to separate from there backing and fade badly.

If it seems to be good to be true it probably is so buyer beware. We lavish much of our hard earned buying our cars and then try and spend as little as possible keeping them on the road. Look after it and it will look after you.
