Halfrauds

I know many of us do not use Halfrauds because of the muppet staff,
high price etc, but I did find a somewhat useful offer today for
filters and the such like for SWMBO's car which needed a full engine
service.

The current offer in my local store is 3 for 2 on halfords oil, air,
fuel filters, ht leads, NGK spark plugs, and some other items which I
cannot remember. Buy the most expensive 2 and you get the third
cheaper item free. Managed to save a few quid over my usual local
auto factor, so bought several sets.

3 for 2 on Spark plugs is only usefull if you have a 6-cylinder
engine......

I havn't forgotten going to Vauxhall Motors main dealer a few years
back to obtain spark plugs (for a 3.0 24v Senator - used 10mm dual gap
plugs which weren't readily available) They were sold in boxes of 10,
regardless of wether you have 4 or 6 cylinders under the bonnet.

I remember the first time I asked for a set of plug leads for a V8 at
my local auto factors and got 4 plug leads and one coil lead. Spotty
youth didn't seem to understand the clue was V8, even after it was
explained to him....
