compleatly pointless thread i know but i just had the shock of my life......... i needed some new ht leads for my 340... 15-20 squid on ebay...... as i didnt have time to wait for delivery and my local spares shop was for some reason closed... i went to halfords and nearly collapsed when the guy told me the price was only £12!! ......wtf?

i know they have some kind of sale on at the moment but their sales usualy mean that their stuff is reduced from extortionate to just expensive..... realy confused:S

Car parts from Halfords are cheap with the trade card, they barely keep any parts in stock any more though. They've recently stopped selling rotor arms and distributor caps. They also stock the worlds most useless range of alternator belts, I've never actually managed to buy a belt off them even for common everyday cars like the Clio.
