You forgot crossland filters, used to be great and then sold the brand to ECP. Agree on checking what is in the box.
Circoli are oe suppliers to Land rover Jaguar! and were the only water pump I could source recently. So will see how good it is. Looked the same as the pump it replaced.
I agree, it is worth a call to the main dealer to see what the offer is.

Ecp have bought up a bunch of brands like lucas etc and then get very cheap items and have them branded as lucas etc. Not dodgy many companies do this but ecp then have cheak to charge same as oe price for cheap garbage items and
Also open the boxes there and check what y have given you. Often it's a part thats been in and out many times to stock and at some point end up in wrong box. Would say this happens 1 in 5 times when I have to use them.
So lucas/circoli/first line or green line/others are cheap parts to steer clear of.
Vw you have tps, can get close to trade price (often way way less than ecp or any of the others for consumables).
I. E service kit for polo tdi from tps (genuine vw), oil/air/pollen and 4 litres of long life fs oil is like £36.
Same from ecp using whatever is cheapest is around £50
Genuine timing belt kit, inc bolts, tensioners and water pump i think was £95?
