Take it then you're waiting the 7-10 delivery, even with the bank holidays on the Eternal one now then  ::).
Nope, exhaust fitted this evening as soon as I got home, and she's now taken the car out.

Picked up a backbox and gasket for less than the Eternal backbox would be delivered from a large independent factors nearby on the way home.

I remember a while back something similar when it was cheaper to buy your car aboard at a dealer cheaper then you could here.

Chap wanted a Land Rover, manufacture HQ was half a mile down the road from where he lived, dealer was next door-ish, tried to get a discount on the delivery as he could pick up the car as it was so close.  No deal at the dealers, so shopped around and got the Land Rover for 4000k less at a French Land Rover dealer, it was full UK spec car to.
Doesn't make any sense does it  :-? ::)

£240 something defore discount, £191 after 20% trade discount.

Eff me backwards.

Now I didn't expect that!  ::)  ;D
I suspected the £45.21 quote was a lie to get people in, then drag the price up, but even I, Mr Cynic, didn't expect £240+

Retards, effing useless retards.  Utter bloody disgrace.

Tell the Trading Standards, as if they are deliberately mis-quoting they maybe breaking rules  :-?
They claim mine was different (all 25 petrols use same middle and rear pipes), thus £125 for rear pipe, and £117 for middle section.


On quizzing why they thought it needed a middle section, they sais it was badly corroded, and the studs would snap. When I pointed out that it was not studs, but nuts and bolts, the technician who looked at it sais "Oh, is it, I didn't look that closely". I tend pointed out that surely he had seen where I had started putting release oil on it, to make job easier. "No". "So you didn't really look at the centre join then?"

At that point, communications broke down, and I departed from the useless, incompitent, lying, thieving, retarded, stupid, inept idiots.



You do have to wonder how the hell it happens. OK, I know its Bletchley, but even so. Surely evolution should prevent this. 100m sperm, and they were the fastest?  :-/

A good saving there, then.  :y

Even when you consider the 10k's worth of rubber you inevitably left outside Halfrauds.
