Walked into my local Midas here in Nelspruit to pick up some brake fluid and i saw a quick printed paper saying 4y parts special offer.
so knowing that if something is just cheaply printed onto a piece of paper and stuck on a wall it should be a good deal.
so the 2 prices i took notice of was Clutch: R690.00 and Electronic Dizzy: R950.00, they had a few other parts
but what i want to know, are those Good prices, i think my clutch might need a change but thought thats not too bad a price. have
and Electronic Distributor already but not sure if its worth getting a fresh one. they had other things like fuel pumps and so forth aswell.

Re: few "bargain" 4y parts enquiry
Sven, I think that's aimed at the taxi industry and it's probably cheaply sourced Chinese products. If it's a genuine Luk or Luk Repco clutch kit, then it's like ½ the normal price and you should go for it. If not, rather walk away and save yourself future headaches .... get a Luk clutch kit when you're ready to do your clutch.
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.
Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers ... what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow.
Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.
It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!

Re: few "bargain" 4y parts enquiry
Thanks Andy,
i thought the same when i saw it, I'm pretty sure it was cheap stuff, but will enquire next time i drive past the shop just incase.
but if you say a LUK is twice that price then its not such a hot bargain and would rather get that then.
