I have a had a good chat with my contact at TPS.

We are trying to think about the best way to do this, my preference is for me to provide him with a list of all those in this GB. Then I will give you contact details so you can pay over the phone and he will ship direct to you. At present TPS do not offer payment over the phone, but on this size order, he is going away to see what he can do about carriage.

If this is a no go, I'm not sure how people will feel about paying monies direct to me and my paying for the parts in person? And then TPS shipping to you?

Thoughts people, option 1 is my preference, I don't really want to have to fanny about chasing people for payments :(

Strike that, I've talked them round ;)

Right I will PM everyone on the list, this GB is now closed so don't try adding your name :)

why are you closing the GB without releasing the prices?

I was holding out till I actually collected my car and the results of the inspection I was having from Audi to see what I required (front or back or both) and to see what prices were going to be offered, then even if I didn't need I might buy for when I do, taking advantage of the GB.

Thanks for sorting this, do you have final prices?
Will they transfer the discs to other TPS stores so I can I pick them up locally?

Final prices are:

£192.13 + VAT = Fronts x2
£155.31 + VAT = Rears x2

Shipping prices are yet to be confirmed

"If this is a no go, I'm not sure how people will feel about paying monies direct to me and my paying for the parts in person? And then TPS shipping to you?"

If this an issue for people, they could always use Paypal as a reasonably secure method of payment, directly to you ?
Just a thought.

It's been open for nearly a week, you could have mentioned that earlier, and I have already mentioned the prices that I have managed to secure....

Can I just say Klauster is doing everybody here a huge favour in sorting out the best possible price for these without gaining anything himself.

Stop trying to make life harder for him, if you want them you should have said so, I did and so did plenty of others.

You snooze you lose!

Can anyone put up min measurements for the discs as Phil T says, do we just use a Halfords micrometer thingy?
.
Yes a micrometer should do it (but you may need to remove the wheel to avoid the rear-guard.

However, the Halfords micrometer only goes up to 25mm !!
... so that wont work.

Have you seen the comments about the Loba discs? Is it worth waiting or is this deal done?

As for measuring you can get digital measuring devices off eBay for <£10. You can also measure (not easily) with wheel on, there's a small gap between calliper and dust guard, only thing is you should measure at more than one part of the disc so you'd have to measure, mark with chalk, move car slightly and do again. It would give you a rough guess though.

I have a PM to Klauster stuck in my Outbox - anyone know how to shift it - when I send it it goes to my outbox and won't leave arrrggghhhh! After I type the message it says 'save draft', 'preview' or 'submit' but when I submit it just sits in my Outbox - any ideas?
