Personally, I am pleased for you that your problems in life are so little that an occurrence such as this requires a rant on a public forum.

In my life, an occurrence such as this would not even register on the "rant justified/needed" scale given the scale of my life's problems.. I envy you.
Yep, made me feel a lot better, as this was put out as an (obviously insignificant) heads up to fellow forum members re the risk involved using a major spares supplier and the issues that could cause.
Not so sure the database explanation is valid, as it uses a registration number to call up the details of the car, with engine type etc, etc. So the online one should be correct, unless the database is different between online and in store (no alternatives given online, except makes of filter).
