New member from Nottinghamshire

CT1972 · 31-07-2018, 10:36

Hi all,

I'm a new member from Nottinghamshire.

My Navara D40 has recently failed its MOT test as it needs new brake pads (front & back) and two new front tyres. Does anyone know of anywhere that provides both of these?

The place I took it for an MOT recommended Milner Off Road or Euro 4x4 Parts. Does anyone have any experiences with these?

Cheers,
Craig

Shouldn’t be too difficult to source. Do a Google for Andrew Page Motor Factors, I think they’re nationwide. Any local motor factors should be able to order your pads if they don’t have in stock.
Try Black Circles online and also Kwik Fit online for tyre prices, cheaper online than going into Kwik Fit branch. You basically buy the tyres online and book fitting at a fitting centre. I’ve used both and been fine.

By the way, welcome aboard

Yes mate welcome, and try and use your local Motor Factors if possible, you will have eye to eye contact and much more help if parts come wrong etc, Rick

Hello there

Thanks for your replies.

@Monaro Pete Beeston, mate.

@jims-terrano Opted for Milner Off Road for my brake pads as they were a lot cheaper. I'm having them fitted today and I'll let you know how I get on over the coming months.

I've also found Halfords have some decent tyres, so I'm going to get them fitted today as well.

Thanks for your help, and happy to be part of this forum.

So nobody was going to warn him about Milners? I thought we were a friendly forum.

Our standards are slipping!!!!

I think Zac would win any court battle with Milners
