It's been quite a while since I bought anything on T/C recently, are they still giving same discounts they used to? As they've closed T/C at the Dealer I used to go to, i've no idea how much they are now. :-[
Looking to pop new Air filter, pollen filter and plugs in the 2.2?
I'd have to ask people to get parts for me now, with a trip back home to collect them :(
Weighing option up of that, or eurocarparts were it's easily delivered :)

If you cant get TC at Vx why don't you use your Halfords card? (I am right in thinking you have one?)

I've found Eurocarparts excellent. :y

I pay the extra and get it from acmecarparts ltd, then use those mongrels.
There must be a TC dealer not far from you?
-
There's a dealer locator on the tc web sight if that helps.

Eurocarparts are often cheaper, also free delivery so don't have to go anywhere to get things :y

So have I so far, considering using them for nearly everything now. Had everything from screenwash to brake shoes all delivered in double quick time (next day often!) for free.

I think the one in Camberley is, also Bracknell, but, I would go so rarely I think it would always be a blag each time. Last place the T/C card got hammered, it also was not mine ::)
-
Not tried the Aldershot main stealer for trade club since it all got shaken up.
I've been going to Camberley auto factors recently. Might be handy given your relocation?
They have a kind of "trade card". IIRC, you pay a quid or two for it then get discount when you present it. Paid for itself in the first visit. They have huge stock, so most things off the shelf. All their stuff is from reasonable quality pattern manufacturers IME.

Problem solved

Well, there lies the problem, you need to get one.
-
Slough Burnham garage, 2 mins from m4 jcn 6 ?
Much easier to get to than Bracknell if your heading home to Brackley one day?
I can't use them meself these days as my hours are outside their opening times. Plus they tend not to have stock so order in.
Why do vx only ever have 3 cam cover o rings on the shelf?
-
When I get mine home, I'll be signing up to ABS and getting a trade card... although the lovely girl in Halfords gives me trade discount anyway... ;)

Really, really stupid question, from someone who was a mechanic in a past life (!) - will they not deliver to you/ a neighbour, or do they only deliver to people with trade accounts/ a premises/ more than ten quids worth of Omega on the drive?
-
The likes of eurocarparts and carparts4less also list stuff on ebay at a discount to their website prices. :)
Worth checking out! ;)

Hard enough getting one before, I would be getting so little, I doubt they would keep the account open.

See your point, but I suspect the times I travel, the dealer would be shut. Normally travel late night

Cheers, will take a look.
Last time I looked carparts4less mirrored eurocar parts

That would be trade, not Trade club?

No, thats tradeclub. There is no other scheme. Ask Keith B is ABS still do Trade Club, and check local dealer participates in Trade Club.

Will do :)
Cheers

Just checked, Camberley is not listed, but Aldershot is, which would be closest.

Not tried the Aldershot main stealer for trade club since it all got shaken up.

Except the Delphi bones! :-X :-X :-X

Sounds good Kevin, which one is it?
Also seen Vx Heathrow is on trade as well, which is on my commute. Looking at their opening hours though, looks like I could only get stuff in the morning which is ok.
-
Maidenhead do it.
I could pick up for you and you could collect from my house of an evening (10 mins. from Handicross/High Wycombe junction)

Main site is on Hawley Lane, pretty much next to the M3 bridge. They have smaller depots scattered around the area too. Been using them since I've been driving. ;D
Aldershot main dealer always used to be happy with an ABS card. Always had to "get the manager", though, no matter how often I went there. ::)
-
Thanks Kevin, think that will come in very useful!
Cheers all :)
Will get an ABS card I think, as there are several dealers I can try to get an account near me. :)
Radar - Thanks, will definitely consider that :)
-
No problem, just let me know :y
