hurrah,i done the hbv this morn, £29 all in from vaux,i did moan a bit to the lady serving,asking for trade club price,she said 'i have done it trade for you' i told her re the boy,'its not a trade item is it?',flustered she said nothing

so she signed me up for a trade club card there and then!!!!! amazed,no checks on me or anything,just wanted the name of my company....

still the hbv,yes its fiddly,christ those clips........,still its done along with coolant flush and change,quite a productive morning,fingers crossed this will cure my coolant loss problem..,if not i got a trade card to buy me oil cooler/coolant bridge.....

thanks to the boy,et all

Have to wait and see if the trade club pack (with card) drops through door....

It can take a few weeks though...

Well done mate.

The clips are very good. They are extremely quick during build, and apply a consistent, even clamping pressure...

But without right tools, a right barsteward...
