Title: Trade Club Book on CD
Post by: Auto Addict on 21 December 2009, 13:25:48
Received it this morning, so much easier to find things.

Special offer as well, buy 4ltrs semi synth (4 for 3 offer) and get 10 spark plugs free.

I should pay more attention to the offers, I bet one of the parts lads has pocketed that.

I realise that GM need to cut costs, but a poxy bloody pdf on a poxy bloody CD.

The file is so small, they could have hosted it on their site, and people downloaded it.

10 spark plugs is an odd number.... does not divide by 4 or by 6. But if you buy 8 cans of oil you get 20 spark plugs which (assuming these are 4-electrode and replaced at Vx quoted 80k) will be good for the next 400k miles on a 4-pot engine. Or you could flog them on eBay... interesting.

AND a separate cd for each GM arm, you would have thought one CD could have done for all, I got Saab and Vaux, doubtless others got chevvy as well etc

I wonder if we could get away with hosting the pdf somewhere for non TC holders to access?

We've already decided against that, due to copyright.

Which is why I asked rather than just post it up. :y

Also, if you're not a TC member, then it's no use to you.

Just been ordering a few bits...

asked about the spark plug deal...

its not on 5litre containers, only 20 and 205...

the dealer also has to sell vast quantities of oil to qualify for the promotion, so not all TC dealers participating.

and the worst bit, you cant choose the plugs, its an offload the old crap deal, you get weird ones, kia etc, so of little use.
