A13CM04 for another 10% off. Proper bargain.

[Codswallop]

Shame it's not a full on sale. I need a new breaker bar and torque wrench...

[Ray Luxury-Yacht]

Cheers for heads up - always worth buying cheap oil to store for use later.

I bought two 5 litre cans of Mobil 1 today for £70 (£35 each) from there which I thought was a bargain. Also got a trade card which was a bonus!

That's interesting. I bought a can of Mobil 1 in their last sale at £35, and when I got to the till and presented my trade card, and it was scanned, it didn't secure any more of a discount because the oil was already in the sale.

Did you get more discount with your trade card then?

Trade cards can be funny

I was staying with some friends who had a trade card and lost a headlamp bulb, went to Halfords and bought their BOGOF bulb offer, £24.99 per pair - got to the till and presented the trade card only to be given a total of something like £48.70, the trade card only gave a few percent discount but it cancelled the BOGOF offer...

Re-scanned without the trade card and pair half as much...

[E30M3SE]

Anyone else having issues with the Halfords website?

Ican put intems in 'my basket' but site does not allow me to proceed to 'checkout'.

Yep its known by Halfords as being problematic:/, after I called them as I wanted the £79.99 kit, went in-store in the end.

Certainly is and then on a £8 standard bulb it will drop down to £1.47 or similar.

Worth having as a backup, not many car parts places open until 8pm most days. Certain things are roughly the same price everywhere including Halfords. They get slated but I for one would miss them if they ever went.

That is a very good price, but that set is not at all the normal quality of Halfords professional. There's some cheese tools in amongst that set.

If you've got some normal spanners etc and just want decent sockets, I have this one and it's fantastic. The quality is great, all you really need on top is maybe a couple more deep sockets.

Castrol Edge 5w30 4l is a couple of quid cheaper at Eurocarparts this weekend, might be worth checking prices for oil on both sites before purchasing at Halfords if anyone is planning an oil purchase...

Finished at midnight.

Picked up some oil for the CX today (20W50) for less than £13 which is nice.

Just bought the 150 piece socket set, as I've been after a new one for awhile as most of my sockets have gone rusty and are sitting loose in an old carrier bag in the back of the garage and I'm spending half hour looking for lost sockets to do a 5 minute job.
The code doesn't work but at under 80 quid it seems a good buy, also if your lazy you get free delivery as its over £30.

I wouldn't mind but I had a quick look on eBay and there are a couple of second hand ones for more than new,
There is also someone trying to flog one for £150.

Also Lidl is doing a 94 piece set for £35 but I don't know if they are any good.

Also if your debit card is registered with quid co I think you end up with another 10% off

Just reserve the red tool cabinet and matching 7 drawer top bax for 249.99, for collection in an hour.
I have the industrial one at the mo, in the garage, but wanted one to go in the new bike workshop. The industrial set is 400 notes, and whilst they are seriously good quality boxes, I reckon the red ones will be sufficient for me in the workshop, if not, I can swap them over.
For 250 quid I'm well chuffed. May have to see if there's any sets down there that are worth picking up when I go to collect it.

If this works its the full range of oils on sale

Torque wrench is never on sale. The one bit of kit I want too.

[J4CKO]

I dont really rate the Torque Wrench but I love the Ratchet Spanners, they are a massive time saver, bolt on to of 944 minutes, 30 mins of fiddling, 5 mins with these as you dont have to take it off and then find the bolt for 1/4 of a turn.
