Clearly what you need is some divine intervention.... God.

Sounds like waiting for a taxi in the pouring rain...

So you reckon he should get Tunnie to give 'em a phone?

Just thought I'd jump in on this thread and ask the following questions of those who would know:

What is Trade Club? I presume it's a discount scheme though Vx for motor trade

Who is eligible to apply? Do you need to prove you're in the trade as other such schemes require?

Having seen many references to Trade Club and more importantly, the cheap prices, my curiousity has finally prompted me to ask.

As far as I understand Trade Club is a discount scheme for traders where you get a good discount off vauxhall service items. You do have to prove you are a trader but you can get a card by joining Autobahn Stormers club or MIGweb.

Yep, Trade Club is a scheme operated by Vx which entitles you to massive discounts on most serviceable items on all Vx vehicles including vans. Prices are far lower than 'normal trade' prices, which you should be getting anyway if your local parts guy is ok.  

To join you need to be in the trade, usually Vx related and Vat registered. You can apply at your local Vx Trade Club counter, but your application is sent away to Vx for approval.

As pointed out though, you can get access to a card by either joining AutoBahnStormers or you could ask some of the nice folks on here to help out.

The first option will cost you money, the second won't.

How come by joining Autobahn Stormers club or MIGweb you can qualify?

Perhaps, someone should approach Vauxhall and get the same status for members of this wonderful forum. After all, by owning an Omega, it almost guarantees that you'll be in and out of the dealship parts dept. on a regular basis! [smiley=smiley.gif] Would have thought it would be good business! [smiley=grin.gif]

Trade club also does bits for other makes i.e. Bosch spark plugs, batteries etc.....

"Good point" [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

[sounds2k]

it's NOT just migweb and autobahnstormers. ALL clubs that are members of VBOA (Vauxhall Bedford Opel Association) get trade club membership for their members, a full list of the clubs can be found here. Trade club membership gained through this manner is intended for personal use only, in theory Vx could withdraw this if they thought it was being abused - and it would be withdrawn for ALL members of ALL clubs in VBOA - not just the one ...

although in theory if you were buying a lot of stuff you'd probably be trade and therefore apply for a "proper" trade club card anyway!

[Marks DTM Calib]

We wouldn't get membership as we are not a fee paying club (which I think is a good thing).

Interestingly, the Omega is not well covered by any of the other orgs.....

We do not qualify on a number of points...

Is there anyone in my neck of the woods with a TC card

Its very difficult to get trade club, the Vxlscc, the 'official' Vauxhall owners club took nearly 9 months to get the card. So if they find it difficult god help the rest of us!!

The other thing any dealer doesnt have to give any discount for trade club, so if you have a jobsworth numpty on the computer they can tell you to politely pay the full price of fly away and you cant do anything about it.

This has happened to a couple of people on the Vxlscc, but only when there isnt another dealer near by funnily enough!!
