How it compares in Components & Replacement Parts
Across the 44 rated components & replacement parts products we track, the typical score is 4.6 out of 5. This one sits at 4.5, which is around the middle of the category. Ratings alone will not separate it from its rivals here, so price and the specifics below matter more than the star count.
It carries 331 ratings against a category median of 2,596. That is a thin base by the standards of this category, so treat the score as provisional: a handful of extra reviews can still move it either way.
On price it sits in the lower third of a category running from £4.99 to £625, where the midpoint is about £39.99. Buying at the cheap end is fine when the rating holds up; check the specifics below rather than assuming the saving is free.
