My MOTer put a bandage on TBE to get it through the MOT ;)

Then someone nicked the exhaust and used it for nearly a year, until said bandage blew apart on the M4 at 65mph  ;D

Really??? i assumed the lady had got it wrong because my understanding was the TC gave you a 30% discount?

Well in that case i take back my previous sarcastic comment and say ''thanks Hellfrauds'' :)

Can vary, massive in some cases. Thinks like Carb clearer are £1.50 instead of £7 or whatever a tin.

I just bought some dash bulbs, £1.99 shelf price, £0.45 on trade  :D

Still in progress, had some change of plans which were un-expected. Sellers of house we did want were not playing ball, survey identified big things for us.

Now in process of a new place, we *hope* to be in before Christmas, still in Camberley  :)

As you have trade club access at Vauxhall, I think we maybe seeing a lot of each other  ;D ;D  :y

I used to use the VX dealer in Aldershot for stuff that Andy couldn't post. Not been in there since the trade club changes, but I think that's a Drive franchise too, so not holding out too much hope.

I think I tried the dealer in Camberley once with little success. My dad used to take his Senator(rip) to one in West end / Bisley area who were a fairly large outfit.

That's on the way to MrsT's Sister, so could be useful.

Happy to use aaronjb's at Bracknell Vx (if it's ok with him of course) - As I think it would be good to have an account which is used as much as possible, rather than lots of smaller accounts which could get closed down.
