Renault parts on Alibaba ?

[Rotor4]

Any comment from those who have purchased & fitted part's from the Alibaba website for their Clio's would be welcome as almost all auto parts are manufactured in China (a mistake by the western world in my view),but we do like cheap. Call me a cynic but input from members more specifically on the quality of the parts involved when doing the timing belt,water pump job,it seems the more "credible" manufactures do have quality certifications. And if it's above board substantial saving could be made buying direct rather than having the middle man with his hand out for doing little more than passing product along to the consumer,if you have done it let me know as I'm interested in what you have to say. https://www.alibaba.com/product-det...rlist.normal_offer.d_title.2c2fe367LsOkR7&s=p

Looking at this on a risk vs reward basis i wouldn't use Alibaba for any parts where the cost of early life failure would be higher than the saving. Clio parts are not expensive, even the belts and dephaser kit at £300 ish (from RPD) will be outweighed by the cost of having a professional fit it. And the cost of failure of those parts would massively outweigh any savings.

Wouldn't chance it to save a few quid. Buy one you know will do the job properly.
