nice one, gunna pester the dicount giving oilman  :fighting2:

Edit: that was disappointing, after postage it works out quite a bit more than walking into halfords and simply grabbing one off the shelf, supposedly 15% off the site at the moment with 10% for club discount ie 25% off

certainly wasnt, gunna email him

You should speak to me Mr Cherry. I have stocks from when Costco sold it last year.  :wink:

Failing that you could try baby oil. :laugh:

and the email reply:

Use code JB007 at the checkout for an additional 15% off your order sub-total. This should bring the price down to £34.42 plus delivery, so you should be a few £s better off than if you buy it at Halfords. You're welcome to collect from us to save the courier fee too... we're open Monday to Friday 8:30am to 5:30pm .
 
With best regards
