good call imo
just lately ive found euro car parts reasonable when you use their click & collect after googling discount codes at least they have branches where you can go to if something goes wrong.

Tbh guys if you call into any ford garage and ask for a trade discount they'll give you at least 10-20% off,it does vary a lot.
If your brave ask for a priviledge club discount as this is what the traditional ford discount for employees is called,the savings can be immense.
Andy avoid garngoch if you can,they charge a lot more than plasmarl and they've been on the con there for years,notice how the guy always spends ages typing the stuff in the computer?
Very dodgy.

Are you talking about the oil filler cap?

If so, you've got bigger things to worry about if that much oil came out from just starting it and turning it straight off.

on our mk7's even though the oil filler is higher up, trying to put oil into a running engine is a big Fail as it gushes out all over the shop

the battery was flat so it needed a jump start, but before it was jumped the rac guy said it needed oil

and rather than put the oil in BEFORE he jumped it, he decided it would be worth putting the oil in AFTER he started it
