Engines According to Halfords

[jotter22]

Year's ago i went in to Halfords to buy a Magnex exhaust for my Clio 16v after the assistant looked in his book for about 5 minutes and making a few tutting noises he actually asked me " Are you sure it is a Clio 16v" at which point i decided Demmon tweeks was probably my best option!...Halfords now only supply my everyday car cleaning stuff on 3 for 2 days.

Maybe that branch only service 1970's DAF cars now?

I bought a bulb from Halfords once, that's as far as I'm willing to trust them.

I once got them to fit a set of tyres to my retired father's car.
It was only some months later, when I came to service his brakes, that I discovered that all the wheel nuts were rounded off, as the prat who fitted them had used the incorrect socket.

I'm sorry if that an insult to prats !

I often pop into a local Tesco convenience store for bread, milk, etc., which is located a couple of doors away from a Halfrauds store and quite frequently see one of their staff on the car park with the bonnet up on customers cars... 'cringe'...

Overheard a conversation between one of them and a Mercedes owner who said he had a problem with a fuse which kept blowing. The advice was to put a higher amp fuse in, which the customer was quite happy to accept.

Blind leading the blind?

^^ that was brave- are you sure you purchased the right one?

Funny you should ask that No it was wrong

The moral of this story is don't place too much faith in the little guide books on the shelves .

Yes absolutely!
