I'd be suspicious of the stuff, saw the leaflet the other day, I think the extendable wheel brace was £1.99.
At that price its probably made of chocolate.

the stuff gets the Edd stamp of approval
all looked really decent and the extendable wheel brace is a bargain for 2 quid
windscreen wash smells lovely, mmm apples

Not car related, but I bought a travel cot for my daughter from there for £15 and it's absolutely ace, really well made.
We had to buy another, which this time we got from argos for £60 and IMO Lidls was much better.
