Its the Half Price Advanced Tool Kit time again, but I thing I noticed and ordered was this handy 18 pc Set, which wont break the Bank for leaving in the Boot or the Second Car. :y

Reduced from £50 down to £12.50 plus another 3% off through TCB. Would be rude not to at that price  ;)

and handy cheap spares too!

Yep, picked mine today, also picked up one these, which has the Advanced Screwdriver ands a few bits, I'm always miss placing mine, probably because of its black handle.

Needed a mini racket and mini some sockets for another tool set anyway, for £10 why not.

Got both of them, the ratchet in the 18 pc one has stood up to some serious grief, the smaller set isn't covered by the lifetime guarantee and I was told by the staff the mini ratchet would fall apart but it's been good for a year so far. I get staff discount off my paperboys mum so might grab another set of each   
Happy to do Omega servicing etc around Merseyside,cruise activation, airbag lights sorted too...

I ordered one online. Then I thought 'Hang on, I don't 'fix' cars any more'. So I left it where it was. In Halfords :)

Like you, I reserved a load of this stuff on impulse, then realised I already had it.... all of it.... some of it twice  :-[

Aye.....it used to be Saturday night eBay for me. You can ask on here..within the space of three years I had an omega, an MGZT 190+, a Saab, a Honda legend, an Alfa 166. Then I learned a bit of sense, and had an astra, a zafira, a chevrolet orlando and another astra (this one).  I think I've stopped now, but........ :-X

I traded my zafira for that beauty and found that it was, in essence, a zafira.

As for the alfa, it didn't work properly when I bought it, and it didn't work properly when I sold it, so no real outlay. The 3.2 V6 sounded nice though.
