Halfords Cheapness again y'all

[Parky]

Evening all,

 

Just thought I would post a quick heads up to let you know our favourite Orangey Emporium has their end of year sale on.

 

Some half price tools and cheap oil so if Santa gave you some cash to treat yourself with it might be worth a browse

 

Some of the 4 litre Halfords brand oils (made by Comma) are super cheap so just topped up for the daily. Why not, there's bugger all on TV!

[gordonbennet]

Cheers Parky, just bought 3 x 4litre 5W40 full synthetic for less than the usual price of one pack, extra 10% off ends at midnight apparently.

[Lacquer Peel]

15W40 is still full price, Halfords hates old diesel engines.

[doobietoo]

Good call...just beat the midnight deadline on click and collect  4 litres for £10.80 usually £24.99 back to £12.00 now Cheers 

[trigger]

Good call, I've ordered 4 litres of 10/40, 5 litres of 15/40 mineral and a Pinto oil filter all for £23 reserved for collection tomorrow, I wonder if my trade card will reduce the price for even more?

[Hertz]

Cheers guys, just treated myself to a set of ratchet spanners for £45 with the old lifetime guarantee.

Well I've just been in to collect my order, I got given my Halfords 10/40 but he also gave me 5l of Mobil 10/40 instead of my 15/40, all in for £23....

 

The Mobil is £22.39 on its own on the Website, I'm glad I didn't question it now.

Wish they did the 20/50 stuff

[UltraWomble]

Not oil or tools but at £72 delivered Im happy with this at its sale price plus an additional 10% off for a DIN sized Sony DAB radio.

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

Four 4L cans of 10/40 semi* and a 15 quid socket set for scrapyard jaunts. 59 quid.

 

Halfords is FUKKIN MINT.

[mat_the_cat]

Just reserved this for collection tomorrow, seems like a good price:

Halfrauds site appears to be down at the mo. Been trying to buy the ratchet spanner set to put away for my spanner monkey for the last half hour and I keep getting a "Bad Request" when I go to the checkout.

[dollywobbler]

Halfords can piss right off. £12 for 4 litres of 10w40 semi-synth at our branch, or £12 for 4.5 litres at Homebase. Didn't buy from either in the end though. Will see what my trusty local factor can do when they're back from the festive hols.

[Timewaster]

Do homebase sell anything useful these days? Our local is one has been refurbished with a big argos collection point, a bloody coffee shop and some overpriced wanky designer kitchens.

Still, they never had anything in stock anyway.

[dollywobbler]

Well, we walked out of both shops with nothing at all, so that might answer your question. Can't say our hearts were in it though. We hate shopping.

[UltraWomble]

Homebase

I bought the smaller one of these on line earlier today with 20% off and free delivery

Cheap enough at £68

[twosmoke300]

Tps are one of the cheapest places for oil in sensible quantitys . just need a man in trade to get it for you.

[rainagain]

Sorry its not Halfords, but I picked up this:

http://www.diy.com/departments/mac-allister-chrome-vanadium-steel-socket-set-h67mm-l264mm-set-of-7/240331_BQ.prd

 

At my local b and q might be useful.

[rainagain]

Sorry posting this from my phone, the sockets that I'm talking about above from b and q are those funny ones that are meant to grip rusted or round bolts. I can't seem to find a pic to link to.

[sierraman]

4l of fully synth 5w30 £11.40 with Trade card another 60p off. Also filter down from £5.89 to £1.90! Bargain oil change!

[DVee8]

Bought a new battery for the Daimler this afternoon should have been £75.99 got it for £59.99 with trade card. My oldest lad bought himself a mountain bike for £99.00 was £259.99

[Taff]

now then, last night I (online) ordered 5l of Halfords finest 15/40 at a mere £9.99. Reee-zult. Got an email & text and everything off them to confirm it, lovely job.

 

So I went in today to collect and pay and guess what? Halfords say "our website has made a mistake and the oil is actually £16.99 sir. I'm sure you understand?" 

 

"No, it isn't," say I. "It's £9.99 and I have email from your Dad to prove it" all the while brandishing my iphone at them and hoping they want a punch up.

 

Sadly, the lady in her late 50s didn't fancy fisticuffs in the car park and honoured the email. Still, I got to mutter "wankers" under my breath as I left

[mat_the_cat]

My collection went slightly more smoothly, although they couldn't find a boxed toolbox so I got the display model for a fiver off

[Lacquer Peel]

Just noticed that 15W40 mineral oil for £9.99, it's still on the website.

I went into Halfords today for a fan belt which, when I was working in Halfords in 1995/6 was a standard off the shelf item along with alternators, brake pads etc.

 

Now a special order only item -for any car!

[jakebullet]

I went to halfords today for some of their green jism screen wash. Bum, it's now "citrus scented" and £7.50. Got to the till and it's £3.74 please sir.

 

Get in! I was all excited until I got home and checked to find it's currently 50% off. Lazy buggers haven't updated the shelf labels.

I remember when stuff used to be stocked, oh the excitement when I was growing up when my dad took me with him to get service parts for his pinto sierra from halfords, it was always my job to find the part numbers in the little books they put at the end of the displays, I'll always remember the part number of the double copper champion plugs he insisted on having, it was RF7YCC

I used to prefer getting belts from Halfords if it was for some non-standard application, as you could wander in with your piece of string and match up the best sized belt from the ones on display. Rather than giving it to some bloke in the factors and waiting while the queue behind you gets longer and longer...
