    Paying full price for parts.

    My wipers blade died on me today going to the shops, I went to repco to purchase some and asked if they fit them, no they don't. So I drove to supercheap which was just down the road as they fit. I though I would have to pay full price for them, but they asked if I had a trade card, and I remember that Mario had one, but I didn't have the card, they asked for his phone number which I gave, and I got the discount. Full total price with out discount 94.98, I paid 86.18 so I save a bit. And I didn't want to stand in the rain fitting them myself, I have fitted blades before. That is also what I am going to miss getting stuff for my car through the business cheaper, my car was used for the business picking up stuff for suppliers and going to post office to send parcel. Also I hope you guys that did business with us, where able to find a good and reliable supplier that didn't charge and arm and leg for parts. Heather

    You still driving the Ford, Heather?
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    Yes I am, this is the last car Mario bought for me, had very low K's and it is on diesel. Had the fuel temp sensor replace about a month before he passed away. Gee the guys in Monbulk Uptech Mario knew them, had a very hard time to find it. It was under the filter and against the fire wall. They had to take a bit off it to get to it.

    Seem expensive for a couple of common Ford wipers. Like Rav, only used on Ravs and cannot be renewed with a couple of generic rubber inserts.

    I bought the one that have a cartridge and blade all in one, and you just clip it off and on the wiper arm. I think the last one I did buy some time ago was around the $60 mark.

    Yes, Tim did have some words trying to find where that fuel temp sensor was, It was hard as they had to remove a bit off to find it. I told him he now knows where it is if he has another one come in lol.

    I got some really good ones online for the D2 for $50. If I can I’ll find where I got them. I even got after sales support re fitment ( my bad).
