    As stated in this thread... http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056329240

    It might be a good idea for a bargain alerts thread for in here? Not for cars, but for parts, oils, tools etc?

    this wouldn't need to be stickied or anything, just stick in whatever bargain that might be seen.

    Mods if you feel it isn't useful, delete away :)

    I think there was one but once it goes off the first page or so of recent posts it gets lost.

    That is a fair point, there may be a few too many stickies already, but if the mods thought one more would be worth it, i'm sure this thread would be useful to a lot of people

    If the mods think it's ok they could sticky it and purge any posts that don't contain links to bargains like this one !

    We should all encourage competiveness and those businesses trying to offer genuine good value to us motorists !

    I dont think a sticky would work nor an ongoing thread (gets full of commentary, questions etc). Instead we could post each bargain as a new thread with a prefix (eg [Motor Parts Bargin] ) ?

    Good price on the axle stands. And for €7 that pump could be a handy thing to have

    Hydraulic jack is well priced too. Looks like I can fix my own exhaust now.

    Lidl hydraulic jack is useless and over priced ;) I bought 2 of them one bottle jack and a trolley jack. Both of them are on the scrap heap. You could buy a decent 6 ton bottle jack for €27 from any motor factors.

    Possibly if it was supporting no more than the SWL specified, was used correctly and the failure was root caused to the product having a defect.

    Definitely heading to Lidl Thurs morning! Picking up torque wrench, work lamp, fire extinguisher and some bulbs for the wife's car which keeps blowing them! Torque wrench is same range (so maybe same actual wrench?) as one selling in B&Q for £30 stg without sockets.

    I have one of the trolley jacks for a few years now, no problems. It has been regularly abused, ie lifting my tractor and also my dads forklift (6 tonnes) the only problem I have is that the height of the lift is not as good as some more expensive models.

    That Halfords deal on Castrol is exceptional. Used the Group Scheme voucher too no problem and got 12 litres of 0w30 EDGE for under €88. Cheers!

    42Nm seems a high torque to start at?
