There are many for sale on ebay for varying prices..
Are "Jaylec" just a rebranded chinese made cheapy? Same as "Auto8" in Wangaratta? How will I know if it is a quality item or not? |

OEX isn't bad as a Chinese cheapy replacement, they're NAPA's own in house brand. Personally I'd stick to OEM brands like Bosch/Valeo/Marelli et al, not worth saving $20 to fit some Chinese piece of shit to the car. |

I bought a BOSCH from auto8.
Fitted it my AU XR8 and it got very very hot and shot a bearing. Returned it under warranty and got another, I'm hoping this one will be ok. I put in a code on the box to check if it's genuine, Checked out as genuine so fingers crossed. |

Failed after around 6 months, and when I contacted them for warranty, I was essentially told "don't bother." You need to ship it back (at your cost) and wait for them to test it. Which, whilst inconvenient, seems straight-forward. However their customer service guy basically told me not to bother. Either buy somewhere with a better returns policy, or buy from a physical store where you can take it back.
