It just gets better and better.

10w40 semi synthetic oil £21.99>15.99
Oil filter £3.49>£1.19
Dizzy Cap £23.19>£11.76
rotor arm £4.19>£1.45
NGK plugs £11.99>£4.36

If you dont have one, get one. Cheaper than any local motor factor ;)

Doinga fair amount of work on the nova tomorrow including wheel bearing, sump gasket and sorting the exhaust. Doing it well in advance so its ready for the drive down for the National weekend :thumb:

tbh I get just as good a discount at the local motorfactors by asking for a better price :) Halfords is a handy saftey net though and the card is good in that case

Vauxhall use to know me so well they setup a trade account in my name, rather than the 'normal' trade account ;) No ID, headed paper, etc just blagged

We have a very good motor factors in our group and every thing it cost plus 10% in most cases :D A battery for the Leon Cupra was £96, I paid £23.

They no longer offer the halfrauds discount with there membership.

I usually go to the local motorfactors. Don't need a discount card and they know where there stock is.

Halfrauds staff = thick as mince :cool:

Oh, they'll take my C&G in motor mechanics. Knew that course would be useful for something.

I got an Opel Trade card when I joined www.totalopel.com (http://www.totalopel.com)

As for the Halfords trade card, you need to be VAT Registered before they'll consider you for it.

Hmm, reckon they'll take degree in motorsport too, or does that involve too little spanner monkey action? lol

The conveinience of halfrauds falls short of you having to deal with the tard on the counter who gives you a blank look when you ask for anything outside the basics that the training course tought him/her. I'm not saying everyone who works there is stupid just the ones I have had to deal with. When I was asking for parts for my xe and gave all the details of the car I had took the engine from and then said it was now fitted in a Nova I could see the cogs of confusion turning in his head

Requirements dont say anything about being VAT registered as far as I can see
