Vauxhall parts dept on drugs
« on: 11 April 2009, 12:11:27 »

Is it just my local parts department on drugs or is it nation wide? I have just been in to buy a few bits and I normally get the genuine water pumps for around £30 all in on the trade card. I've just been in to get one and they say the pump is now £61 plus VAT on trade card. I said I will take half a dozen, being the sarcastic git I am ::)

As soon as I saw the thread I was thinking they wer'nt even £40 retail, as Mark says £41.50 :y

Looks like dealers are starting to try it on, mine in Sheffield gave me a right run arround on prices, so allways worth doing a printout before you go in. :y

Got to say I have no problems at all with Kevin at Charles Warners in Lincoln, knowlegable and very helpful. One of a dying breed i'm sad to say.

Recent waterpump purchase was £22.40 + vat (27th March)

Use York Ward & Rowlatt in Wellingborogh - spot on with their prices, will give discount on non TC parts, have most items in stock, out of stock items same or next day.
