Thanks Kevin.

Will I still need to apply for the ABS card?

Thats up to you, but andyc has offered OOF members access to Trade Club prices via the dealership he works at

Guess having your own means you don't cop any postage charges, but I find Grose's a bit of a PITA to get to. Their parts dept seem OK, but heard some scare stories about the service dept at the main site (Kingsthorpe).

I tend to use Bridge in Banbury, as I have a good relationship with the parts department there.  I rarely go there though, as Banbury is the land of the inbreds. I send Mrs TB in to pick the stuff up. Its nearly on here way home

Cheers for the info mate.

Have you also seen Cliftonville W.Grose has shut down? It's going to be a Citreon showroom.

Serves them right for fekking me over that time!

That the one nearest the BMW place.  They seemed more caring that the Kingsthorpe lot

They were pleasant enough. But then they would be for taking £250 from me, doing nothing and completly missing my s.p. wells full of oil! So called experts!

They are Vauxhall dealers, their service depts are universally incompitent, only matched by Renault...

When I had my Laguna the water pump failed. Went in for a part and they offered to do it under warranty as it was a known problem. Fair enough, I thought. When I got it home, I opened the bonnet and oil had p!ssed out everywhere. They had forgotten replace the dipstick. Not sure why they needed to touch it to change the water pump, but...

I see from the adverts that Renault are pushing electric cars hard. Electrics is the part they are least competent at, so I shudder to think what they'll be like. Had a couple of faults on that car just because they didn't bother to protect wiring from sharp edges and chafing.
