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

Would it be cheaper at ECP with the club discount?

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

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 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 Smile

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...

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.
