I'm not a native Westoner so used hthem because the girlfriends family have always taken their cars there.
Been using them for about 5 years now on my cars and they've always been top notch.

By the way, the rattle still happens. Goes away after a few minutes though. After research etc I put it down to the oil change. They put 5w40 fully synthetic in, guessing there was some thicker oil in there before. Just takes a few mins for it to grease the loins again when i set off.
