I only got a set of Fronts off Dave recently and they were defo no more than 49 sterling.
I dont buy anything in Ireland anymore.
Just like the Honda garages telling you only to use Honda approved MTF's in gearboxes etc. Just want to line their own pockets. I would take Oilman's word over Honda's word any day when it comes to oils.
I got everything needed off Dave for a full service recently, all filters and pads etc, for half nothing.

The guy that told me about the MTF is actually just one of the technicians in our work shop, and actaully a good mate of mine whos served his time in a honda garage. Hes had a few civics over the years and that was his recomdation to me. He or I for that matter couldnt give a $hite less what anyone else uses in the car, but I'd go with him rather then "some guy" over the internet... :roll:logik said:
And as for the price of front pads for the DC5 from Honda in Ireland, that the recommended retail from Universial Honda in ireland and what appears on the WEB EPC. I'll copy and paste it to show that no dealers are "lining their own pockets"
I got a set of new Honda/Brembo front Discs + pads for €220 delivered n' all from TGM, so ud be mad to buy 'em off Honda Irl...
But now i've ordered Ferrodo Ds2500's to replace them.. the standard pads have worn down quickly...(after a few laps of Mondello!)
Mate, i am not having a go at you or your mate, i am simply saying that it is of course in the interest of a main dealer to recommend the manufactures oils and parts. Oilman is not just another guy in the internet either, give him a call, his knowledge of oils will be obvious after 5 minutes.spike said:
Anyway I am going off topic, so I will just leave it there. Apologies if I offended ya spike.
No, you didn't mate, but I was just making the point that I trust this guys opinions on all things Honda, having worked on them, and had several of them. He's not being influenced by anyone either, only his own judgement from experience. The general opinion of most people is that the MTF is the best you can get too. Anyway as you said, its off topic, we'll leave it be.
On the pads, I didn't (and wouldn't ever)buy them either, I went for Mintex 1144s for similar money.
