So thought I'd stop into Twickenham Halfords to see if there's anything I need...
£70 later I'm happy 
The chavvy max power book is actually really useful and will be handy for me dropping my suspension... But has got some weird and wonderful ideas in it..
Can't wait to try the clay bars.. It was £24.99 and you got a bottle of speed detailer, 2 clay bars + holder for them and a micro fibre cloth which I thought was good.
California scents...Just cause I wanted my car to smell like the sea
Finally got a stereo facia as well
And just wanted to try some injector cleaner to see if it actually works

Come to think of it... It would have been.. But that wouldn't have given me ideas.
I'm sure I have the proper Haynes on PDF somewhere..

Yeah there discounts on things such as cleaning products + ICE isn't very beneficial.. But I use my friends trade card for car batteries and a few other bits

Trade card only gives discounts on parts and tools really.
Still, 70 quid is a lot to spend in halfords in one go!

Air/oil filters for a 307
5lt Halfords oil

But you need to be a "community supporter" to view that and pay £x
So if you looked on Google and known where to look there is a free copy out there on the interwebz
I was a CS over there buy still went and bought a Haynes and judging by the oil and muck that got on it mid job its good I did lol rather a bit of paper than a £500 phone gets covered in oily hands lol

I don't think you'll find it!
And I agree with 4Way, a paper copy is invaluable whilst actually working on the car especially with oily/dirty hands!

I actually really like the max power manual. Its been really useful on several occasions and does give loads of ideas! However you can get it very cheaply off ebay or amazon! Wouldnt have got it new from halfords myself.
