What did you and your MK2 do today?

[shnazzle]

I like the idea of the Tescos points. But the closest one is like 30 mins away. Shell is next to work

Don't blame you for sticking with Shell if it's local, Tesco is a little nearer for me so I'll continue to go there (plus it's noticeably cheaper per litre), I don't even bother with clubcard points but might start, can they be used on anything in Tesco? And how many points do you get for a £70 fill up and what would that equate to in money terms?

Not sure how many points you get, think its 1 for every £2 spent. I get extra coz I've got a Tesco credit card, fill work car up on that and claim it back, pay card off every month, if I'm filling GF's Leon up use that too (which is often as strangely its always empty when I come to use it... ) we reckon we've had about £75 back over last 12 months just through fuel alone you can use them on loads of things, they do offers every so often, club card exchange gets you double or more off all sorts.
Better than sweet FA and as most of it (45-50k miles a year) is company funded happy days!

I might start with this club card jobbie then, can you use it when you do the pay at the pump thing?

I use Tesco 99 now too, I used to use V Power and redeem the points but over time the "rewards" I got seemed to get less and less so I've sacked it off totally now, I notice no performance dip at all in switching fuels plus I'm saving money at the pump so it's win win really.

im on tesco mometntum 99 and havent noticed any drop in performance,its a few pence cheaper aswell

You can indeed. You get a little key fob card that you can just shove under a scanner, as well as a full size one. You can link cards too, so your other half can have one. If you can ever get them to fill the bl##dy thing up that is!

Seems to come with the fascia adapter.
Will have to try and sweet talk the wife.

Me and my new cupra had a lovely spirited journey to work. It was very enjoyable.

In between the rain showers i had a productive afternoon; managed to change my gearbox oil, replaced my Diverter valve and fitted my pipercross panel filter.

Huge improvement with the Gearbox though. Car is 6 years old and has only covered 47K but the oil was ruined... Definitely worth doing!

I've been using tesco 99 for years now with no problems. Its cheaper and the club card points are a big bonus. As said 1/2 point for every £1 spent, if you shop in store its a point for a £1 and every 3 months you get your money off and vouchers through. Get in the scheme ASAP man and get your points saved up. You can also get the points by pay @ the pump. You get a wee barcode card about the size of a keyring that you just scan every time you fill up or use the store.

Surprised a kn0b in a merc c250 cdi.
Pouring out black smoke out the back thinking he was the dog's n00ts. I'm liking the CupraR.

Gotta say though; took some effort, so that's no good. APR here I come!

Ok you've convinced dude, where do I get one of these little key ring card things then? Do I need to go in store?

I think you might want to look at pricing up a clutch too mate, I don't see your standard clutch lasting two minutes, I hope you have deep pockets.

Better budget around £1k for a clutch as well mate as the standard one won't last long.

Either the store or ask at the petrol station bud.

Really? I was under the impression that the standard clutch would last a while through stage 1 if driven properly.
Mind, I CAN actually drive properly
