Methinks you paid through the nose

Right... Oil is £12 a can, so £24. Plugs are £2.70 each, so £16.20, sump washer is 10p. Total £40.30 plus Vat is £48.36, not £72.
Oh and an oil filter is less than a fiver including Vat.
Secondly, discs and pads as a kit are £110 plus Vat, so £132 ish
Put another way... I bought four plugs, 5w30 oil, air filter, pollen filter, oil filter and sump washer for a 1.8 vectra for a total of £75 including Vat from my local ish dealer :-\

Foregive me, Ah ! sump washer ???

Little rubber ring that seals the sump plug ::)

Spoke 2 Andy in Bury Tuesday, my intention was to order some bits,but he said manager says no more Car Clubs and no parts sent in post,this is my own fault concentrating to much on work, if I now want to sort front suspension there will be no change out of £500 :'(

I bought a tube of oil cooler plate sealant and the requisite washers at vx today - £27 ffs !

And the nice Tattooed assistant gave me a 10% discount. ;D

Front shocks are about £90 each. Don't buy wishbones, replace the rear bushes with genuine (£20 ea), poly bush the fronts and replace the ball joints with ones from allgerman. Drop links are a service item, any way, so £10-15 each is reasonable :y
