Thanks for this posting and good luck at the scrapyard.

Nice one Mick! :dance:

I know I paid £12.00 for my bulbs with a hint of blue in em from Halfords :wink:

Cheers

Hi Roo, These have a 'hint' of blue, just fitted to Golf - all fine... and at 75 % less than hellfrauds - theres a set in the boot (along with the originals - just in case!)

popped back today for an extra set of stands - you never know...

John

good spot john im going to pop into my local shop & hopefully get my hands on a tele tyre lever for the bargain price of £3.99 :wink:

i might be tempted with a trolley jack as well :dance:

Hi i went to my local lidl today in Queensferry.And they have never had these in.Bit gutted actually as i wanted a antifreeze tester and new axle stands.

got my tele wheel nut lever, im well pleased with it for £4

but my store didnt have any jacks or axle stands

Good news Fog! used mine yesterday , cant go wrong for a few quid!

N1ova, i'm off out again today, Got told by the scrappy yesterday that the Steel rims were £25 EACH! I can buy new for £30 - one more scrapyard to check but it looks like i'm buying new

I can stop by Lidls here (nearest is Blackwater or crowthorne depending on which way we go) and have a look if they have still have testers. I'll post on here later if they have any left, keep an eye out for results and PM me if you want one posted to you. Got the last set of Stands yesterday, 3 trolley jacks left, no bottle jacks, plenty of bulbs etc.

Catch you later
John

Offer at Lidl's finishes Tues, went today and bought 5 antifreeze testers - cleaned them out - and 4 of them are screenwash testers - 1 is engine coolant.. :oh yer:

N1OVA - PM address over i'll get the coolant tester in a jiffy bag tomorrow. Royal Mail pending... should be with you by spring.

In all seriousness, read through the tech section, (look at Drift - the Man-ual / Gregster the Doyen of dimply tyres :dance:

and see what happens if engines freeze.... (ouch!) apparently monday onwards its going to get chilly... welcome to the winter...

however no jacks - bottle or trolley, stands, screenwash etc, but bulbs a-plenty in Lidl's left - but Aldi are never far behind on special offers.... post it if you see it...

:wave:

John

N1OVA - PM recieved, its on its way!

John

Thanks jammywagonwheel

Just got back from my local one, picked up 2 sets of bulbs and a tyre lever. Also got a 1/2 inch drive torque wrench with 3 sockets and extension bar for £16.99

Had lots of trolley jacks and stands but no testers etc. Anyone know the rating of the bottle jacks as they didn't have any in mine.
