Anybody signed up for membership of the dark side and recieved a Vx trade card?  Is it worth doing?  Cheaper then Autobahnstormers though.

[Jimbob]

not yet, but thinking about it,
need a 2nd attempt at blagging a 'real' one first
failed miserably yesterday, our Lookers said we dont do the trade accounts here, you need the other branch - no showroom, just depot, so will try there next time.
It goes against the grain to give vxon money, but you do get a halfords one as well which you dont with migweb (also £15).

Tempted myself if only for the TC, trouble is they will probably expect you to be a regular on the site surely.

Yeah tempted myself, if only for the Halfords card. Not sure though... [smiley=undecided.gif]

I joined about 7 months ago and ive got the halfrauds trade card. If I get a trade card them great but I wont be joining again just to get the card.

I've came from the Dark Side but find the site much less user friendly.

I know it costs £15pa but what are the % discounts offered by Halfords & Vauxhall with a Trade Card?

It varies depending on what you buy.....

Halfauds.....tools.....20% discount
                 batteries 50% discount
                 bulbs.....nearly 85% discount

Vx             Oil semi synth 5l £17.15+vat retail.......£7.92+vat TC but you also get 5l free if you buy 3x 5l.....so works out at about £7 for 5l including vat if you buy 20l
                 Air filters £13.40+vat retail      £8.27+vat TC
                 Fuel filter (petrol) £12.50+vat retail   £5.16+VAT TC

To show a few examples........so definately worth it    

[Taxi_Driver]

But should point out not everything is available on vx TC card or at Halfauds......its mainly popular service items......so ie you cannot go and buy a push bike or air freshener from Halfauds and use the trade card.

Similar at vx......its only popular service items....and as i just noticed you have a 2.2 chopsdad, for some reason a 2.2 crank sensor isnt a 'popular' service item so you pay full price for it......but if you have any other size engine.....it is on TC card.....work that one out!  :-?

[The Barge Captain]

Anyone in Bristol got a TC?

[Markie]

Mine just popped through the door this morning ( TC) that is....let the purchasing begin  :-/ remember i have an hgf vectra to shore up...

What was the part number for you crank sensor TD?

Was it 10456515....if so it is on trade club at 25+VAT.....look under Frontera at the Y22SE/X22SE engine...its the same with the V6 Omega water pump....its only listed under the Vectra but, its the same part.

Thanks boys and if it's any help I don't need a crank sensor just yet and my car hosts a Z22XE engine.
