Quinton Hazell the well known car parts supplier has closed. Euro Car parts have bought the respected Crosland name from Sogefi Filtration(Coopers, Fram, Purflux) but will potentially be selling any quality filter in a Crosland box as Sogefi won't be supplying them. www.catmag.co.uk/category/news/latest-news Reply to this message | Report message

Lost count of the number of QH parts I've fitted to cars of all makes over the years. Never had a single problem with any of them. It's a shame they've closed. Reply to this message | Report message

Most of those brand names have been bought up by other companies eg Girling is now part of TRW, Borg & Beck part of First Line, Lockheed part of Delphi. The first three in your list are part of Federal Mogul. Reply to this message | Report message

IIRC Borg Warner are now the "Warner" part of Aisin-Warner. The "we're not actually a subsidary of Toyota at all" people who make transmissions. Reply to this message | Report message

When I was at school this was one of the sights just a few yards off my daily route, one of many fantastic car makers in my area. www.frazernash-usa.com/AFN-Factory.htm The first Porsche was sold in the UK in 1954, by Archibald Frazer Nash (AFN) from premises at Falcon Works, London Road in Isleworth Middlesex I was by Bristols show room a few days ago and wondered how/why it still looked active and still had cars on display. Now I know. Reply to this message | Report message

That's really annoying! Their online catalogue was a very useful resource as it also divulged the original manufacturer's part number for every component. Like having access to every manufacturer's parts book in one place. Always handy for finding the right number to bang into eBay to actually buy the part........ah.......right......

IIRC 'Hepolite' was originally the trademark of pistons made by Hepworth & Grandage Ltd. Now there's a name to conjure with. Reply to this message | Report message
