The prices that get quoted on here for TC service parts are within a few pence of what I pay for quality brands like NGK, Mann etc. Considering that going to any of the 3 'local' TC dealers means an hour round trip and a gallon of fuel, buying what are effectively consumable items on TC IS dicking about for me, and any savings are minimal at best.

I thought you were properly in the trade (apologies if I'm wrong), so the dealer should be delivering to you door?

I certainly have no problems getting stuff delivered (as my nearest TC dealer in now inconvenient to me).

As the company doesn't have an account with them, getting deliveries is a bit of a pain. As is working out who accepted the delivery and where the bits got put, as I'm out on the road most of the time. And as I said, service items simply aren't worth the hassle.

2 sets of wipers ordered for the grand total of £5.52!! 

One set for my Omega, and the other for my Mum's Fiesta from which I had to endure much screechiness during a couple of long journeys over Christmas!!      Worth a few brownie points!

They probably last 5mins 22 secs as well

At that price if they last a week, then it's a week of silence! 

My Mum? She didn't notice how noisy hers were anyway so I've probably wasted my money there!

Not really given your Elite should have self levelling

Eh? Who, what, where, when??

It's already running standard springs/shocks, KYB i think, Was just thinking these would be a step up from them without shelling out big money ?

[chrisgixer]

Is this a good price

Not with self levelling springs. If fitted?

If fitting stock shocks, it needs anything other than self levelling springs to go with them.

Edit, seen your last. They'll be fine. Assuming correct parts etc

I thought to myself " What the hell has self levelling got to do with wiper blades!! "

I wonder if the price will go back to £43.14 after midnight, Could do with more time to think about them.. Too much pressure these limited time deals 

Then again why fix something that ain't broke comes to mind.

No I meant 'Gotcha' as in 'I see what you mean' not 'Gotcha' as in 'I got you' 

Read into the context a little and you'll get it eventually!    "Sigh"
