Indeed. I bought off the back of the EPB one and well that's now had a fair amount of time and has been surprisingly good. The pump when it goes just seems to give a terrible bumpy ride on mine, so i don't consider critical and having dealt with Chinese suppliers if the quality is decent and it works, then things typically stay working....You can have a nasty attrition in QA first though - I've some suppliers with panels that are scrapping ~50% but it's still cheaper than getting made in the UK. Lord knows the environmental costs though

@Homer I've no personal knowledge there. I believe they've been mentioned here before with being WAY cheaper than Audi and i'm sure someone will have used them, but that's as far as I know. Probably decent!
