Title: Vaux semi synth and trade club in Scotland
Post by: hotel21 on 02 December 2006, 22:23:44
Anyone assist with TC access to 4 or 8 galls semi synth?  Need to service the beastie and reluctant to pay Halfrauds prices, even with their trade card.

Just curious Mark - do they need your card or can they just type in an account number.  I've got a good relationship with Vx locally and could probably blag TC discount if this was the case?

Correct!  And no, I don't have a hole in the sump pan!

Thinking is that with the 4 for 3 price plus the gitter of getting it in the first place, may as well get some in, as it were!!

Got loads of filters in stock, just no oil.  

Wifes Pug and my bike use it as well, so it would soon be used!

not sure - they didnt take my card from me last time, i just flashed my card and that was enough....sure you could maybe sweet talk your dealer....

However previous times they took the card and my name and address came up on my invoice ( name is on card too)

He would know your pulling a fast one but if you have a good relationship....

.....by the way i got 20 litres for £28 from vx.....buy 3 x5 litres get 1 x5 litre free ( till end December) i reckon thats about 4 gallons  :-/

Cheers Mark.  Would gladly take you up on the offer, unless theres someone closer (Edinburgh ish?).  SWMBO is doing all the driving at the moment (got a 4 week or so medical ban meantime) so would be unable to meet up until late next week....  But we can take to PM and resolve if required?

thanks

Cheers Markjay.  

No chance of attending the Edinburgh Hogmanay street party then?  Could potentially supply a bed if required?

Thinks.....   But the Vaux Garage is shut for AGES at New Year!!   ;D  Means feeding you for DAYS!!   ;D
