Anyone know what kind of discount you get on service parts? Got a spare day tomorrow so think I should finally service the DT after its 500 mile weekend, and can't be arsed waiting for parts to turn up...

Hmm, not bad. I'm not that bothered for quality in a lot of ways, it's a £400 diesel on 95k...

The halfords discount is great, think i saved about £40 off a service kit and glow plugs.
You wont get bosch duraterms cheaper anywhere than you will on halfords trade, iirc its £12 a pair so £24 for 4 I think it was £5-7 of 5l of oil and the same off 5l of coolant Oil filter goes down to about £2, fuel filter is about £3

On the old system. Im down as a "high volume parts buyer" had to take in 3 months worth of factor receipts to prove it.

Some bits are cheap, but usually only own brand stuff.
No discount on car care (ie polish and stuff), audio, bike parts ..etc Fuel filters are around £4 a pop VS about £3 from ecp with discount. reckon ecp would may carry better quality filters too.

I work in a garage so just took in a few months worth of payslips and that was fine. I think mechanic qualifications from college are adequate aswel...

I got mine because I'm an engineer for a company and I just showed them an engineering qualification. My companies never mentioned it so I'm guessing they dont find out as I've had it a couple of years

I found mine
 Think I'll just go in and ask, at least I can get the parts there and then instead of waiting 3 days for ECP to send me the wrong f*cking parts and then blame me...

Forgot I had one of these inmy wallet
Need some anti freeze for the Alfa Got to change the thermostat!! Now that's a job and the part alone cost £85 retail though I got it thru work trade for £60

Got mine cos I bought a 306 off the manager of halfords. Also have another one from a guy on pugnet lol. And yeah you do save quite a bit on service parts. It works out roughly the same as Ecp after 25% discount though last time I compared them.

Right, I decided to just get it all at Halfords so I could get it done today, in case this helps anyone I'll post what I got:
Halfords air filter £8.99 - £6.88 Halfords oil filter £6.99 - £2.01 Halfords fuel filter £9.49 - £4.08 Halfords indicator bulbs x2 £4.99 - £1.00 Halfords chain wrench £4.49 - £3.59 Halfords 75w-80 gear oil 1 litre £8.49 - £6.79 (x2) Halfords Advanced coolant 2 litre £13.99 - £11.19 Mobil Semi-Synthetic 10w-40 5 litre £27.99 - £22.39 Retail £98.90 Trade £68.71 £30 saved, not bad in my book
