I did try both Halfords own, and the Ferrodo they sell some years back. Shite TBH, though I'd suggest the Ferrodo were a little better.

And the Americans are a world power?
Back on-topic, would membership of OOF count as qualification for a Halfords Trade Card and if so, how do I prove membership?

Ron.

No. Must give proof of being "In the trade". Either certificates or course enrolment or payslips from a motor trade company. I had to jump through all sorts of hoops to get mine!

If you have a Vx Trade Card that might be sufficient.

Thanks gents. I asked the question because I was linked to Martin's Money Matters when I Googled Halford's Trade Card and it led to an answer from somebody recently saying that VAUXHALL Owners' Club  membership had been accepted, so I think I'll try it on, especially if I can show proof of membrship of OOF - any insignia or documentationavailable, I wonder?

Whilst I'd love to sit here and rip the p*ss out of their staff as MOST of them are utter morons..... theres one lad called Neil in the riverside (n'pton) branch who was an absolute diamond when I purchased my roll cab and tool chest. I wont bore you with theetails other thanthey sent me away with the wrong item twice. he took charge, went himself to go fetch the stuff, opened it all up to check it was correct and undamaged. then he helped for over 40 minutes getting it in my car. if it hadn't gone in he was going to bring it round for me. absolutely top lad. I bust him a tenner for his effirts. top lad  :y

Yep, it's the exceptional ones that stand out amongst the crowd of dross. I do recall your tool chest saga and he clearly deserved those beer vouchers.
