 :)Tried some time back to buy a set of plugs for a V6. After looking them up the bright spark(sorry) came back with a set of 4. When i pionted out we were 2 short he tried to sell me 8. I asked for 6 individual ones... no need to elaborate there.... before losing the will to live i left the store.
    If i ever want a travel rug or a luggage carrier... i'll....top myself!

6 spark plugs probably would have set you back a weeks wages in halfords anyway!!

i tried to buy a kenwood iso adaptor once and they told me it costs £32 because it was a special one! all the rest where around 8-10 quid! i cant see how it was so special! my local back street car audio shop had a real good laff and charged me £7.50!

trip to maplin on the cards then?

Maplins' I'd rather drink raw sewage that use that place...   From my experience, our local staff at Maplins in Stoke are not with it at all, I'm getting an account with RS... Maplins will end up like Tandy..

Try RS online...

I agree. Thankfully, RS in Coventry is 30 seconds walk from where I work.

Just go wherever is easiet, maplin springs to mind cos they are generally easier to walk in and buy something
(I work 1 mins walk from one)

RS for me involves mail order, not much use in a hurry.

Maplin used to be good, but they are fast losing a lot of the component lines that they used to stock.  Sadly, they seem to be more interested in gimmick items these days.

RS are good, but I find that they are very expensive.  Another place to try is Farnell, but I believe that their prices are only slightly lower than RS.
