Title: Anyone local to oxford have a trade club card?
Post by: joshwyatt on 03 April 2009, 17:13:26
Hello All,
I was just wondering if their was anyone who was local to oxford who has a trade club card? I need to get an exhaust for my 2002 Omega, and want genuine OEM parts so was wondering if anyone could help me out by using their trade card? I'm more than happy to compensate for their time etc and travel costs. Need the exhaust for the 14th of this month. I'm located in kidlington 4 miles from oxford city centre and have a vauxhall dealership 1 mile from where I live.
Many thanks.

based on recent experience by others I wouldn't bother with the GM units - they are not the same as the original equipment.

Look at the likes of eternal, or if you prefer and can afford it, stainless.

And for trade card, you know you can join ABS and get trade card benefits?

I have a TC card, but I seem to remember there is a problem using it at Kidlington. If you can make it to Banubury....

However, people are saying that the 'new' genuine items are not of particularly good quality, and long life stainless works out not much more...

I sent forms to ABS on wednesday and card arrived this morning, Saturday.

not all vx dealers take them so will pay to check your local one before using it.

If they participate in the Trade Club, there's no reason why they shouldn't take the ABS card ..... take it further! :y
