Yep, the two dealers I use don't bother asking to see the TC card anymore..... I must visit them too regularly  

Find the site useful when you need a part number as it lists the breakpoints.

To be honest Myself & Pete were talking about this the other day.
We have only ever fitted Genuine Vauxhall Cambelt & Tensioners and Water Pumps. But with the price of parts going silly we have now got two prices.
One price if Genuine Parts are still wanting to be used.
Another Price for Contitec/Gates Parts used.

People have then got the choice of two prices

Contitech and Gates are fine for the cambelt (and generally have the markings that the VX ones don't) the important part is that the rollers / tensioners are manufactured by SKF.

I've got one of those inspection lamps fromn the last time, they come with a long lead that saves you having to use extension leads.

I think it would be a good idea, another example is wishbones, some real knowledge of the lifespan of the various different supplied wishbones could be useful.

ie. is a £50 wishbone any better than a £15 one? Where can wishbone bushes be purchased from at what price? These topics pop up over and over again.

Might be an idea to PM one of the Admins as they can provide proofs for the logos etc.
