IGNITION PARTS SUPPLY- CHEAP

Was looking for a coil pack for the Terios....£147.00 from the dealer, not much cheaper from "factors" so after a lot of searching, finally found this supplier. Got one for £45.00 from them and it's exactly the same product!

Will let you know what the service is like,may well be worth remembering them

Yep, some great deals can be found by looking around - or knowing the right people. My neighbour just had a windscreen fitted to a Subaru Forester. Best retail price he could find was on the South Coast at £220 + VAT fitted (not much good when he's here in the Midlands!!!) and locally they were more like £250 + VAT fitted.

Chatting to another neighbour who is the car game, he passed on the business card of a reputable mobile windscreen-fitting firm about 20 miles away. Cost was £140 total - fitted on his drive! It's clearly not what you know ...

You are so right Tom! And it seems to be even more the case these days. And in the employment game, did you know that less than 15% of new jobs get advertised now....most go to someone who knows someone...

UPDATE;

First time round the part arrived and didn't fit. I sent ONE email the same day. Within 2 hours I had a reply AND a phone call from a very embarrassed company owner who had investigated to find that manufacturer had made a mistake on their vehicle listing, and he hadn't double checked it.

So, BIG apologies,send it back and will deduct all costs from next order. 1 day later has found me the correct part and had to buy it in from another company I had already tried and NOT used due to their prices.

So, all in, within 3 days of letting him know, he had sourced, got in and delivered the new part. Admittedly it was a bit dearer, but that was beyond his control. So my feeling is that the SERVICE was excellent- he did his best and it was good in my book, therefore no hesitation in recommending.

Mistakes do happen. At a car boot sale a couple of weeks ago myself and 'er indoors happened upon a Pifco electric overblanket in a mint-looking box. This would be ideal for the Range Rover-soon-to-be-camper we thought. Powered from an inverter, small and lightweight the blanket could be stashed away under the seats as reassuring back-up for a particularly cold night.

Coincidently on the other end of the seller's big long table my good lady found another Pifco electric overblanket. It looked great, it was even another King Size blanket similar to the one in the box, so she gave me a 'thumbs up' sign as if to say - buy it! Picking up the mint-looking Pifco box I enquired how much it was - "£5" came the reply. Perfect! Off we went happy we had bagged a bargain.

For some strange reason, probably due to tiredness being up at the crack of dawn on a Sunday (well, before noon), it wasn't until I was back indoors that I finally opened the box, then the penny dropped. Delving inside the first thing I saw was a thatched roof ... then a cow and some sheep ... then a manger ... yep, you've sussed it, it was a nativity scene complete with the three shepherds an' all. You really couldn't make it up!!! Well the darn thing felt the right weight for an electric blanket, how was I to know?

Naturally we took it back the following week. Telling the vendor that the blanket was faulty, I stood back to savour the moment as his eyes focused on the contents. It was a Victor Meldrew moment, "What the bloody hell ......"

Of course it all got sorted, but like I said - mistakes do happen.
