Needed a sidelight bulb today so here's the discount.

Twinpack 12V 5W sidelight bulbs, shelf price £2.49. Trade price 46p

Also asked for discount on some Wynns oil stop leak, but that wasn't discounted.

Wynn's oil stop leak seems to help a bit. I had disappearing oil syndrome in my car and it seemed to have slowed that down a great deal. I'm not sure if the product has been taken under the Redex branding now? http://www.4wheelplay.co.uk/redex-stop-leak-p-25003160.html seen this in Wilkinsons.

Looks like this card's worth it for the bulbs alone.

i think bulbs must be their star purchase item

when i got my card i quizzed the goon on what items had what discount, he kept going on about how the bulbs are very cheap etc

said not much off oil,paint,tools

another discount ive found on the trade card.

halfords set of 5 H.T leads rrp 12.99. trade price £6.38.

even less than half rrp,a pretty good saving there.

it was one of the cheaper sets,i was buying them for a forklift truck,im not sure which car they are meant for.
they had a few different sets at £12.99 going up to £30.
it was a pretty good saving though i thought.

Just got my trade card. Took in a pile of out of date invoices with a new one on the top. He asked if I had a wage slip - I showed him a print out from the website that said a large amount of invoices should be acceptable. He asked if I was a self-employed mechanic and I told him the truth that I was a student and did work on my own car, and he went off to ask the manager who ok'd it. Got a can of Halfords brake cleaner, £4.39 instead of £5.49. Not amazing but better than nothing

well done anewman,honesty was the best policy here then.
remember to put all your savings up here so we can have a rough idea before we go and buy anything.

Laser Brake Spanners - normally £3.99 - Trade £3.19
Halfords Split Pin selection approx 550 6 different sizes - normally £6.99 - Trade £4.99

Interestingly a Champion Air filter normally £1.99 - trade £2.20, so 21p more with trade card. Didn't bother complaining as it was only 21p.

thats strange about the filter.
