whats pissed you off today?

I purchased mine, for the cost of a maccy D's lunch
The discount is getting worse though Got some headlights for the passat the other day, it was only a couple of quid discount rather than being a couple of quid.

Definitley worse discount and worse tool choice. Hardly anything kept in stock anymore either. Still, better that nowt.

The last thing I remember getting for a decent price were own brand wiper blades and 5L of 5W30 semi synth for around £24. Recently though I asked for a price on a pair of mirror glasses for my mk3 Escort. I was pleasently surprised to see the own brand self adhesive lenses still on the shelf tbh. (Does anyone buy this stuff anymore? )

They were £12 each (much more than eBay) and when I checked the book, mine had to be ordered in. Trade discount? Zero. :/

how/why?

how/why?

If you want to use it on a cam cover, exhaust manifold etc it's a waste of time. Standard paint is fine for cam covers etc. VHT doesn't last on hot surfaces, so you may as well use standard on that too if you're going to paint them, imo.

Totally agree, vht paint is crap

I have painted my head and can carrier with hammerite smooth, done this many times before and never had it come off
