You won't get a Trade Club card from the ABS. What you will get is the ABS membership Card which will have the Trade Club number on it

If you now have your membership pack you should have the login details to access the ABS forum but you might have to access it from the Webb site if its the first time.

Can't give you details of the trade club posting from the ABS on an open forum as i'd be shot.

You can always look at the new section on this forum though :y

Cheers
Andy

Thanks Andy.

I'm only just sending the application away.

So this TC Number will then give me the option of then applying for Vauxhall TC online?

The number is what you quote when you walk into a dealership.

You go online onto the ABS forum and there you find the login details to the TC website (which is really just a glorified pricelist); these login details are shared by everyone because they actually belong to the same person that the TC account belongs to (the treasurer of ABS, IIRC) - everything is in his name.

So don't be surprised if the parts man at Vx asks why you've just driven from Essex, and why your name isn't whatever his name is, the first time you use the TC number..

I see. Thanks Aaron.

So get signed up for ABS. They give me a TC number that I can log on to see the Vx TC pricelist. And then I go to the dealers and basically quote that number  :D

I got t now.

Cheers lads ;)

No ......  ;)
The only number you need is the ABS TC number which you quote to the parts bod, no need to log on at all apart from to see the TC price before you get there.  ;)

Has anyone had any problems with them not recognising ABS? I take it not as there's the TC number but just thought I'd ask  :y

My local dealer is (well he is with me but thats another story)  ::)
But at the end of the day, if you have a trade club number and you ABS card, they ain't got a choice  ;) ;)

Absolutely. http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=97927.0 (http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=97927.0)

I can personally recommend Andy for parts by mail order. The advantage over my local dealer is that he knows the Omega inside out so supplies the right bits first time.  :y

Thats up to you, but andyc has offered OOF members access to Trade Club prices via the dealership he works at :y

Guess having your own means you don't cop any postage charges, but I find Grose's a bit of a PITA to get to. Their parts dept seem OK, but heard some scare stories about the service dept at the main site (Kingsthorpe).

I tend to use Bridge in Banbury, as I have a good relationship with the parts department there.  I rarely go there though, as Banbury is the land of the inbreds. I send Mrs TB in to pick the stuff up. Its nearly on here way home ::)

They are Vauxhall dealers, their service depts are universally incompitent, only matched by Renault...

When I had my Laguna the water pump failed. Went in for a part and they offered to do it under warranty as it was a known problem. Fair enough, I thought. When I got it home, I opened the bonnet and oil had p!ssed out everywhere. They had forgotten replace the dipstick. Not sure why they needed to touch it to change the water pump, but... ::)

I see from the adverts that Renault are pushing electric cars hard. Electrics is the part they are least competent at, so I shudder to think what they'll be like. Had a couple of faults on that car just because they didn't bother to protect wiring from sharp edges and chafing. ;D
