So you consider £12 too expensive for an oil change?  :o
£15, tunnie, by the time you have bought a filter and some rags, and some teabags and sugar.

The cheapest backstreet oil change is going to be in the region of £40-£50 quid, so you GM Oil/Filters on TC is, as you know, very, very cost effective.

For some reason that I think I've missed, Bigyin has a real issue with GM. Not sure why he drives one  :-\
i dont i drive opel ;D ;D ;D got no issue with gm .just their parts prices >:(

You will struggle to find any manufacture cheaper, Nissan are huge prices in comparison.

Oil oil oil oil oil  :D :D

Get a room.  ;D :P

On a serious note even the price I paid on eBay wasn't too bad considering its including delivery and VX directly isn't exactly outrageous obviously people who have TC have an advantage and do tend to brag about it often which is a little annoying but if you can use TC in your area good for you  :y

You drive around North Wales a fair bit....If you want TC prices why not ask if anyone can pick stuff up for you, and combine the pickup with a scenic drive... :y

I don't mind paying VX prices on the whole tbh but obviously do prefer getting a good deal,  I don't really need any major parts now apart from a pulley which i'll try and get from AndyC.  :y
