I'm off to wilkinsons tomorrow to get some 2 stroke then a fill up. I have a bit of a misfire at 2000 revs so I'm hoping this, some new hoses and a maf test might shed some light on it :cool2:

Cheeky bar-stewards - I got trade discount on it at my Halfords in Inverurie, Aberdeenshire.

Ridiculous - where's the logic in that?
I think it's all up to the person on the till.
I bought a few things that day and I'm sure I got discount on all of them.
Another problem is you don't know how much discount you're going to get until you actually check out.
It varies item to item.
Strange place - Halfrauds.

i just bought an air filter and oil filter for our scenic... standard price was 23.48 for both, trade price was 8.68

Yes Im happy with the discount (when you get it). I did get the oil checked at 2 different stores and both checked out the same.
Very nice discount of 40% off on their professional tools.

I just took my qualifications to the Halfords parts counter and showed them my HNC in Engineering, & City & Guilds Mech to Elect. Neither of which are dedicated Automobile qualifications. Filled a few forms in and got my card.

Trade card question....
I used to run a kitcar Owners Club. Told them I wanted to be able to recommend Halfords to our 'Mini-based' kit car owners, ... the Managers eyes lit up, ... filled out the form, ... walked away with a trade card.
Greed and Avarice lives at Halfords!!!
Simples!

Walk into Halford, preferably wearing some old dirty overalls and with a bit of the old EGR gunge under the finger-nails.
You need a photo ID to show them and a few receipts from a Landy Dealer or whatever, and you tell them you are a small self employed mechanic just starting up.
I had only 3 receipts - 2 from the local LR agent and the one from the BMW dealer where I bought my cyclone pcv filter.
Works a treat - or so I'm told Ahem! - I would never think of doing such a thing.

they are really strict on issuing these now....i lost my original one (which they gave me by just showing my payslip from where I work) and refused to give me a replacement til they'd seen my certificates. in the past pretty much anyone in there could authorise a trade card but now it has to be signed off by the duty manager......

Possibly too many self employed mechanics were setting up small businesses.
Oops!
yep...all your fault!!!
