LOL is this an offer at Dal's dealer only? I will have to stop off at the Stevenage one and find out if they are doing it!

Well Royston Ford dealers quoted the full RRP of £29ish for the same thing.

I had a good long chat with the guy at my local Ford parts desk and he basically said that he was told by the dealership manager to sell it competitively priced to the local car shops : hence why he discounts it 50% I even asked if it was a problem for me to buy 4 - some for my forum friends - and he said "Well it's here to be sold, so sure"

 

[crystalpuma]

Bloody hell! So are there any left or have you sold them all?

 

[Dal]

Well the dealers has 2 more boxes of 4 off.

I have just one 5L unaccounted for. Want it?

 

[crystalpuma]

Yes please!

 

[Dal]

ok - I'll put a little sticker on it with your name, next to Studges one..

 

[crystalpuma]

Yay! Do you need the money soon? Can do paypal, or you could come to dinner and collect it in person!

[crystalpuma]

Got a friend in parts at a FOrd parts centre up in Newcastle, so got some the other day for £14.03, along with a service kit, some caliper bolts (to finally get my brakes fitted!!) and door card clips. Came with a free pollen filter too, altogether only £63.58!! The markup on some Ford parts is ridiculous... He can sell me wiper blades at £1 each!!

 

[spike.]

good prices there jamie!

not bad at all,

I got 3 sets of these and he posted it all for one £6.95 postage fee

Then we add another £5 for a filter and we are at £20 plus the hassle of changing oil.

National Tyres do a full oil change for £25 all in if you book online (using Magnetec), just keep an eye on them when they do the work and check the dipstick over before you leave and normally it's ok.
