Duckworths - spares to Scandinavia

hi all Scandies,

just to let you know that I import all spares & maintenance items into Denmark from Duckworths, UK (i.e. Dan).

Despite the post charges (which incidentally are pretty small) - it's still a massive saving compared to buying them from the DK Dealer.

I bought an air filter from my DK dealer - for DKr 350. The same filter from Duckworths cost me under DKr 40....

I wish I had bought my 18" LR alloys from the UK................ Big Cry

poped this over into your Scandinavia section and left a shadow copy in Maintenance and Mods

Sounds like a big saving to be made Thumbs Up

I wonder if you provided all the service parts to your dealer, how much a service would be for just labour Whistle Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

.....for the 1st service I provided all the engine oil.....but I still nearly had a heart attack owing to the labour costs. They were so expensive that I queried if there had been a mistake.

The only mistake was that I had not checked out the service cost beforehand Big Cry Big Cry

Next time - all servicing will be done in Sweden. Much cheaper, even after paying for the bridge to Sweden Thumbs Up

re 17" alloys - mine came with 17", but I wanted something a little bigger to fill out the wheelarch better.

So I bought 5 x 18" - for ca. DKr 24K (including the tyres), part-exchanging my 4 x 17".

I think I could have saved about DKr 8K, if I had ordered from the UK (while keeping the standard 17" wheels + tyres).

But I think your price seems pretty good actually. Also - your 1st service costs were much lower than mine for the labour - so I think your dealer seems quite OK Thumbs Up
