Officially the Dealer I use that's close to the office doesn't do TC anymore, well not at that branch anyway, but they usually come up with a trade price for anything I buy.

  at Kirbymoorside Nth Yorks I always was given trade prices. rang this morning & was told they could no longer do it. under orders from management. in the past whenever I wanted an odd gasket & they came in packs of ten or so they have let me have them at cost. I was even told 10/40 oil when stocks run out it will no longer be available

It has definitely precipitated in York when I've been there..

(Sorry, bad spelling joke )

  sorry meant participate    I was making enquiries about a battery .two vx dealers have told me that 70a & 85a are no longer available for the omega, an age thing

I just rang Vx Heathrow, quoted 3.2 reg and would supply a battery no problems, but at £146 retail or £124 trade.

Make sure its the right one (74Ahr) as the Trade Club lookup book/site is incorrect.

Sounds like that is for a GM battery, not a TC one, as I paid about £60 about a year ago for TC.

No good as I can't get TC there anymore with the account I previously used.

Was that the ABS account?  If so, presuming you are still a member, they should take it if they do TC.

Back in July of 2017 I paid Vx £129.50 with TC for a Battery, part no. 093197903

As for the incorrect one, I can confirm that my Vx dealer originally ordered one apparently for my 3.2, but when he showed it to me it was about 2 foot long.  Far too long for any Omega battery space.

I've used these people for my last battery, eight years ago and still working fine

Delivery included and 4 year warranty.

The place MigV6 (I think, apologies if wrong) suggested for batteries looked pretty reasonable, and has good reviews here and on other forums.

If only I could remember who there were to get the URL

[Sir Tigger KC]

This is my recommendation for a cheap battery as per my post in 'So what have you done to your ..... '

Was it this one? https://www.batterymegastore.co.uk/

I've used them before with good success and I'm fairly sure I got the link from here..
