That's why Halfords is full of crooks and overpriced chav crap.

Least the young lads that work there don't have far to drive when they've finished work, Maccy D's carpark is only across the road here.

I actually need some heat shrink rubber for a Walbro fuel pump I wanna fit. It's sunday so only Halfrauds will be open - but on principle I will wait until tomorrow to do the job as I ain't being scammed for a few quid for pence worth of material.
if your ever in the merthyr area come see me, il sort you out on trade, just cause i like you, as u drive a scoob.

i like to think im a exception to the general rule of halfords due to prior qualifications,more qualified than most fitters still in garages. come see me, il look after you, ul never wanna go anywhere else then. lol

Ebay, you can get loads of it for a couple of quid, instead of a couple of bits for a fiver at Halfrauds.

I've got some somewhere, let me know a rough idea of size and I'll send you some if I've got it. 100% discount.

i have a trade card for halfords..and have saved a fortune....eg wiper blades for both front £5.69 ...shop price £15.99 ...very very cheap air and oil filters and tools at least £6 off 5 lts of oil most times.....would never ever go if i didnt have the trade card as too expensive
also bulbs have a major discount if they are just standard ones
