TPS - What is the deal?

[jonnym]

As all dealers and TPS's base there prices on the same retail prices that VW sets it is weird that they can all come up with different prices,maybe it has changed part number again and the new version is more?

They all definitely quoted me for the same part as I just gave them the number.

I would rather go to North London and get it from them, they were kind enough on the phone to want my business!

Is this the Slough TPS?

Just bought this from Dave (link above) together with loads of other things. He charged £34 plus P&P (but because I bought a few things) worked out cheaper than even going to TPS!

just for the benefit of other members, what was the price Dave charged you for the DV? Also, how much did you save overall??

Ahh excellent. Slough didn't want to sell to me :( Colindale is closer as well!
Thanks for this :)

Ring up birmingham TPS and ask them if they supply taxi drivers

I managed to just walk into the Birmingham one and buy the Rev D (at the time it was the latest) without any issue about me being non-trade. Have things changed?
