chris, what exactly did they say?

When i went to the local vx depts part here i had to be 'setup' on their computers, took around 5 mins. They put the TC number in on the card (this was a vx tc card but should work for abs)

I could then buy parts at trade....

This garage is giving you bull... your ABS card has trade status... take the yellow card and give them some stick!

THe dealer might not have set up ABS TC on 'his' systyem, when i got my MIG number i went into 2 local dealers and neither could find the number, but they did give me TC price under someone elses number.

When i got my Vxlscc number i had the same problem, but i had the 'inform article' number so they could check and it all became clear.

BUT not all Vxl dealers participate in the TC scheme, so no matter how hard you argue you could still just tell you to pay full price and be done with it, as happened to one Vxlscc member who lives on the Oarkney Islands, and he cant actually just pop down the road to a different dealer  ;D

I blagged oil. filters and £50 of trade goods at my last visit - couldn't give me a receipt though as it went through local garage account. :y

Its a good sign actualy....it shows they take trade club seriously.....the better outfits will enter your details on the computer....this has a few advantages

1) If you forget your card they can retrieve your details using your address
2) They send you any local special offers in the post (like an extra %10 of trade club prices etc)

Most dont bother.....but, if they do...thats a plus!

Just got my card from abs. Reguarding queries about having to register, it says on the covering letter:

Any queries reguarding the trade club scheme should be referred to Mr Jim Williams, Trade Program Manager at Vauxhall Motors. Please REGISTER under the name of "Autobahnstormers" using this address............

So, apparently, it is, as Mark says, quite usual for vx to register you on their system.

I can't get my 'favourite' dealer to register my real TC card, let alone my old ABS one...

You been visiting my local dealer then TB?  ;D

Altho must say parts blokies are helpful......and one of them has an amazing memory....usually has to look up part no....either from TC book or EPC and then can remember it to enter it into their stock system! without having to refer to it again!
