Last week the tail and dash board lights packed up on the Isuzu Trooper. I checked it on the Isuzu UK forum and they put it down to a faulty X-9 relay. I went into the Isuzu supplier and I was in luck! they had one they can order from the factory the other side of the city. An original part at £31.63 in Kenyan money. I had thought they would be 10 a penny. I was going to order more, but at that price I will wait until I am back in the UK. I kept the old relay as the car won't run without it even though it is not fully working. Funny that.

Of Course, technically, we're all Christopher's customers, so we must always be right...

to which he replied
"But you keep them on the shelf"
"No I dont"
"I get them here every 3 to 4 weeks"
"I've worked here over 10 years & we've never kept them & your face isn't familliar"
"The other lad normally serves me"
"Anyway these are New Holland, we sell Fleetguard"
"I always get them here"
"When did you last get them from here?"
"About 6 months ago"
"So you dont get them every 3 to 4 weeks then"

Sounds strangely like one of my 'customers'
You know the type, don't buy anything just come in to have an argument!
Gotta love 'em !

Except when they never buy anything, just stroll in to say ' How Much!!'
' I can get that cheaper off EBay mate!'
