experiences I will go and get a different one. BTW, Catford Halford's
tried to charge me £22 for a £3.99 oil filter and a £9.29 air filter.
Then some lame excuse about it scanned twice. Watch 'em if you go
there.

it would be alright, but when a ford genuine one is so cheap why bother
with halfrauds or any where other than a ford main dealer?

Logistics of life. Nearest ford dealer is 20 miles away and I just happened
to be passing a Halfords and took the opportunity to grab a filter for my
next oil change sometime in the late Spring. Hell, why am I defending this.
Anyone would some imagination for anything else than their own situation
should realise its not always as straight forward as it appears to get the
things you need and your life/town/amenities does not apply to all. I was
just curious if anyone had an experience of using Halfords filters and was
mildly curious for replies. Seems so far no one has any actual experience of
using them.

Going back to bed.
