Bulbs good value

pcardin

Yeah, need to get that bulb replacement kit to please the french communists. Gona do my summer trip and unfortunately France is included.

Miscreant

The bulb sets are fantastic. Very bright and clear headlight bulbs especially...... Worth buying the set just for those alone.

Think I might invest in one of them trolley jacks myself. been meaning to get one for quite a while now.

Owen

The trolley jack is excellent, I have one for 3 years and it hasn't given a moment's grief.

Bandara

That bulb kit isnt that great value lads

I bought some last week from a supplier for 3.75 each wholesale, and it's much better stocked and better quality than that one, will probably retail it around 6.99, and I only bought 25 of them so no huge bulk discount !

Have a look around first

*car mat set is great value

alexlyons

any thoughts on the wipers?

Voodoomelon

I don't know about the wipers, but that Bardolino Chiaretto Classico looks delicious.

I get halfords wipers for the missuss car in halfords, €22 retail for the pair, €8.40 with trade card

Tesco flat blades for my own car, €16 or so for the set.

I need to get a new one.........mine isn't what you'd call safe :eek:

I have the Aldi wipers on my Yaris. Done about 3000 miles with them. No issues and every bit as good as the Bosch set that was on before.

dharn

are there any cheaper options for the bmw/vw flat blade type wipers, they seem to cost about 50 euro a pair in auto factors or dealers

Unlike Ireland where such things as working lights and aligned headlights are optional, eh?

Try misterauto.ie

They are doing a promotion on Valeo blades at the moment. 45% off and delivery is cheap enough.

Don't forget your mandatory breathalyser...

furtzy

Bulb set is good value...gonna grab myself one of those. Wouldn't go for the wipers though. Only ever get Bosch blades now. Any of the non brand ones I've gotten were noisy as hell

Fresh Pots

Anyone here know what the car seat covers are like? Are they good quality? They've got a 3 year warranty so I'm assuming they can't be too bad.

That is cheap. it includes 2 halogen bulbs for main headlights that go for at least 7 euros each in my local motorfactor

LFCFan

Does it include 2 of each type of bulb? e.g. 2 x H7 bulbs etc

Well considering that you can pay €10 for a H7 bulb, it is good value. Your on wholesale prices which aren't available to the normal Joe Soap on the street.

A-Trak

I bought generic Halford wipers and replaced them with the Aldi ones which were far smoother.

I've used Aldi/Lidl wipers for about 2 years now. I get around 9-12 months out of them, so good value.

working fool

I got the wipers today
Put them on .. No problems . Look good .
Got 2 of the bulbs packs
One h7 and one h4
Great value
2 headlight bulbs in each pack with a selection of other bulbs and 4 fuses
Very handy and great price

You can get wiper refills as far as I know. I remember the garage put two in the last service, for maybe a tenner.

Right stupid question maybe
Will the bulbs fit any car
And has anyone used the scratch remover?

I have used the scratch remover...to repair CD's and DVD's!
Whenever they are so fcuked they cannot be read anymore, I give them a polish and they're good enough to be copied.
And far better than any CD/DVD scratch repair kit/machine. And cheaper.
Dunno how it works on cars, once scratches go all the way through the top layer of the paint, it can't be polished out. Pointless nonsense for cars, brill on discs.

Did anyone get the thermometer from this?
Is it easy to install and can it be run from the car or is it battery only?
