I'll pick up the jack stands I reckon. Cheers.

Why no W5 Screen Wash Concentrate?! :< It's the best screen wash in the whole world (the only one that actually works)....

Hoping to pick up the trolley jack, handy to have at home.

Mint Sauce

Might get the wheel trims incase I put the steelies on this winter, and some of the other winter stuff.

Maybe it works (cleans the window), but all I remember about it, that it froze down way below advertised temperature. I think it was -10 deg, and it was compeltely frozen, while label showed lower freezing temp (I can't remember how much it was).
Didn't bother buying it again.

It's a pity they don't have rim stands.
I didn't get it last year, and now I need them./

Sounds to me like you used more water than screenwash. Dilute it properly and it won't freeze.

Kopparberg Strawberry and Lime

I'd recommend everyone having a tyre inflator handy like in the first one there.

Really a lot less hassle to just have one for the sake of 16 quid

BNMC

What are those window wipers like?

Supergurrier

Meh nothing interests me there, already have the axle stands from last time

I didn't dilute it at all.
Maybe I'm mistaken, but I think it said -15 deg freezing temp. Or maybe -25.
But I do remember it froze at around -10, and I was in serious sh1t on motorway in Germany.

I got them 2 years ago.
So far they work great - can't complain.

Have one of them in the boot too,the lidl one is better than the more expensive Halfords one we have in work.

I bought their wipers once a few years ago, they were fine but not brilliant. I don't have the hands free kit so can't really comment but it looks like you have to re charge the microphone part which would be a pain in the hole for me and I would always forget to...

Odyssey 2005

Take a look..Hope it works,don't know how to copy link properly
Enjoy

You'll get a brookstone tyre inflator in most decent garages for 9.99 and it's far better quality that the Aldi one. Barring the jack and stands that stuff is not cheap IMO

Cantona's Collars

They have the Bluetooth car stereo for €39.99,it's not on the website but it's in their brochure.

the_syco

Looking at the Wheel Trim Set. Gonna probably go for the black one, if it doesn't look too tacky. Currently have 3 of one Toyota style, and 1 of another random style.

Gumbo

I have the trolley jack and axle stands a few years now from lidl.

Might try get the compressor this time round, handy for home for the bike or if you get a slow puncture.

Only picked up a set of OEM wipers for my car last week so may look at the wipers too for the girlfriend's car.

holdmybeer

Does anyone know what he seat covers are like?

Dunno where you live but here's a few options off the top of my head, Texaco at spawell, Maxol Sandyford, Esso Ratoath all do them afaik

djimi

Anyone know what is the trolley jack like? Have been thinking of getting one for a while. Is that a decent price or can anyone recommend a better one?

tossy

The trolley jack is perfect,nice compact and cheap.

Its a good jack and served me well with the Nissan Primera, but won't lift the MR2 or type R [lowish cars] to a decent height so couldn't get under them - in the end I got a Sealey Yankee 3 tonne off T for Tools in lurgan - lifts the car like its a box of feathers - absolutely no camparison

tossy

It's a jack not a ramp,i've no intention of getting under the car when it's on any jack,for a good value for money and safe option for your average motorist changing a wheel on the side of the road it's hard to beat, it lifts my S3 (lowish) and my older charlie cheapo lidl one lifted my old Bora which was a lot lower no issues.

A good tip is to keep a couple of inches square block of wood in the boot, you can use this to drive one wheel up onto to give you extra clearance to get the jack in under a low car,or as a choc when jacking on a hill.

djimi

Cool I might see if I can pick up a jack so.

You could also try halfords I got one last year for 9 euro plugs into the cigarette lighter. Has led lights on it you can set the pressure you want and it will cut out when it reaches that pressure or use it manually. I couldn't believe it when I seen it for 9 euro. This was last year though so I don't know if they still sell them. Still a handy yoke to have in the boot of the car.

well obviously I use axle stands but it cant even get the car up high enough to fit the stands

Kopparberg Strawberry and Lime

Doesn't have to be a particular pump. Just one that gets you going was really all I meant

the_syco

Dang, by the time I got there, there was only 13" and 14" trims left
