How is a £2.08 oil filter a bargain? Especially if you have to buy 12 years worth in one go?

Given I change oil about twice a year now on average, I don't think my 2.2 will last that long  :(

Why is the same item being promoted in two threads ?? neither of which is in the sales section ??  most peculiar IMHO

unless there is an undisclosed interest on behalf of the OP ???

That's poor value. For under 25, you can normally get a box of 24, although only much use if you have other cars that take it as well.

Little bro and I used to by a box for £15 from the dealer, keep half a dozen each, and shove the rest on egay for £3-£4 each (as ebay buyers are ridiculously stupid).  Sahme with a lot of stuff that the dealers would sell bulk at way less than TC prices.

Ok i made a mistake posting in the wrong section so corrected it when i realised, even so some  of the posts are a bit ott, and any one who knows me will know that conflict was not what the post was about, and NO i dont have any intrest in the seller.
Recently i was charged £4-60 for gen filter by a dealership in london and as i needed it urgently i was caught by the gonads, and at just over 2 quid a pop i thought that some of you lot might be intrested, clearly i was mistaken.
Wont happen again.
Gary.

Nothing wrong with posting up potential bargains Gary, I do it from time to time, I work on the principle 'if it just helps one member out' etc. etc. ;)

Just expect to get some flack, if others think otherwise.  ;D

Apologies if my post(s) caused offence, not my intention.

I personally like to see such posts - either it will be a bargain, or somebody will post up better options etc - so please keep posting them up :y
