Booked my van in for MOT/service on Fri 16th Jan. I'm going to get mine done at Halfords as its very local to me here and it was the same price as my local independent garage where I used to live.(£230).

How old is your van now Daz? How do you get the DPF to regenerate properly with your short non motorway journeys? Have you had to replace DPF so far or have it cleaned? They are eventually consumable parts so just wondering if it's original on your older van?

My van is 8 years old. I've never had a problem with the DPF and neither has my missus(she has the same van and it's 8 years old too)

My missus has got 95k on the clock on hers and im on 29k.

All original DPFs

Daz why is that sediment filter so orange ? Reason I’m asking is I’ve used an ro system for 17 years and never had a filter that colour
4 month intervals(sediment and chlorine filters). Same condition as last time.

Obviously something in the water round here.....

You’re assuming it’s abuse. If you expect an employee to start paying out of his own pocket for wear and tear you’re gonna be looking for new employees.

How can you expect an employee to pay for equipment? They’re not an employee by definition if that’s what’s happening.

If you’re getting it done at Halfords you’d be better getting the Premium Motoring Club Membership. Think it’s £49.99 and gives you a free MOT, a £10 welcome voucher, 5% off purchases and probably 5-10% off your service.

Splash, I said this before to him that I wasn't putting my hand in my pocket for anymore sections. He coughed up towards it before but just wears everything out so quickly.
I started with an old bendy Bayersan years ago and quickly went to Gardiners so I  appreciate how hard the job is with poor equipment, I'm also reluctant to buy from particular suppliers.
I had a pole for years which had clamp upgrades, lacquer etc as it was my pride and joy  :) but trying to get an average of what others are getting out of them.


I have 5 guys working for  me and don’t have any issues like this , I certainly wouldn’t tolerate abuse of kit like  that , accidents do happen and that’s fine but someone regularly doing that to poles would either be paying for  it or up the road

Used Halfords for years from a pickup to custom and last few years on a Boxer, only issue was they marked NSF disc as low when it was the tyre tread.
They've changed everything they were meant to and half the price than other places.
Had my Boxer serviced by HGV mechanics couple of weeks ago where I was working, only because of convenience and then took it to Halfords for mot while looking around shop.
No issues with them.

Ive always had excellent service from Halfords. They came to my house to replace 2 tyres and the price was a lot cheaper than my local tyre place.

Easy to book and pay online too. They also sorted me out with a battery in the past and fitted it. The battery compartment in my connect is in a really awkward place(wedged under passenger side bonnet) so I was happy to pay £10 to fit it!🙂👍
