i went into halfords and asked for a set of peddels for my car so i could heel and toe, (they call them peddle extensions) and the bloke i spoke to who has done everything possible to his car and ponses round the store like hes god, well he walked me past the cabinet with them in and took me over to the "trailer and towing " section, asked me what i wanted again then asked another bloke, i just laughed took him back to where i had seen them, laughed at him and walked out, d**khead!

Hi, sorry for the delay. The number for andrew page is
0113 2001000. They should be able to give you a number for the nearest branch.
Hope its some use to you.

IIRC Andrew Page are a trade only supplier so that may be no good.

Just have a look in your yellow pages and ring round a few motor factors, it won't take you long to get what your after at a good price.
You might not get a performace air filter anywhere other than Halfords/Dtweeks/Larkspeed etc though, you have to be an official reseller to flog that stuff.

Try www.sapmotorparts.com/

Had a browse round before, they beat most of the prices i've looked at in the past.
