      Well I know who I'm taking shopping next time round

      If it has an engine or heartbeat it's going to cost you.

          Different companies get different buy prices. thats why if you come into the autobarn i work in we might charge (and most of the time do) differently than the repco and supercheap down the road.

          it all comes down to supplier agreements and how much you buy from them!

            Actually its because of my NRMA Free2go service. It provides people between the ages of 17-18 with free NRMA service for a year in the hope to get them onto the service for the rest of their driving lives. Its just like a normal service but doesn't apply to the car your driving rather you, so evn if you buddies break down you can get assistance. And you get the usual NRMA services, I mean its free and you get discounts like that 20% supercheap one. There are a few yonger mk3er's on this forum that I think could benefit from this. And I spent some time reading the clause and other information and I'm prety sure there isn't a catch. So yeah If your between 17-18 have a look at it... It seems like a pretty good idea.

            Oh and I don't work for NRMA or have insurance with them lol...

              yeh i have this. i think you can sign up for it if you don;t already have NRMA service cover so long as you are under 21...

              My mate works at supercheap though so I get 40% off at his store if he buys stuff for me it's quite handy

                Replaced my original sparkplugs today (NGK VW) stamped at 55890kms after 10 years with some Bosch super 4 and leads. It has made a bit better at the top end . VW Village did the work all ok.

                  What did you pay for the plugs and leads?

                      I really am tempted to just import all the parts... from an earlier post of mine in this thread:

                      Ignition wire removal tool Ignition wire removal tool - Removes ignition wire from spark plug without pulling on cable. Professional quality metal tool designed to last, does not break like plastic versions. This tool is essential to remove ignition wires without damaging them. 43.00

                      Although I don't need the filters, at that price picking up the next set or two now wouldn't be a bad thing at all
