Evening all
Some of you may be aware of the advertised repco 30% off clearance items until 5/1/20 (almost typed 19 haha)
There are some really great bargains - especially in the way of small things like o rings sump plug gaskets and split pins. The only real limit is what your local(s) have in stock
I would suggest doing click and collect - some parts aren't immediately on the shelf in store
First, I would suggest setting your car in the top right corner, then go to the 'other' tab and clearance is down the bottom. The first pages shown (depending on how many items are on clearance for your car) often have good deals - eg I got a few water pumps for $3.50 each, head bolts for $8, head gasket $5, cv joint boots for 70c ,etc
Admittedly these are Camira parts, but there appear to be plenty parts for other models (eg if you have an old magna or laser the radiators are cheap along with plenty of other parts). Even some for old Torana's, HQ, etc.
If you need a arc welder

And welding rods, MIG wire etc are on clearance as well - eg
https://www.repco.com.au/en/tools-e...electrode-3-2mm-5kg-mpwe3250/p/A9408640. or
https://www.repco.com.au/en/tools-e...ig-wire-0-7kg-0-6mm-mpwms0605/p/A9408634Then there is the sand papers
eg -
https://www.repco.com.au/en/car-car...svie-sheet-230-x-280mm-p150c/p/A9443121.or
https://www.repco.com.au/en/safety-...ves/norton-wet-dry-sand-paper/p/A9809615 Locking pliers, long reach pliers, multi grips and some side cutters are out for $3.50 - along with a fair few impact sockets for under a dollar each
There's this Repco LP1 (like RP7) 5L for $7
https://www.repco.com.au/en/oils-fl...purpose-lubricant-5ltr-rlp15l/p/A9495537 .
This "Chux" wipe 90 pce roll is $7 - normally $30 at officeworks
https://www.repco.com.au/en/safety-...s-wipers/oates-wipes-roll-45m/p/A9430344Not many oils, but if you have a bike there are a few
There are also thick full dipped nitrile/cotton gloves for 70c a piece
https://www.repco.com.au/en/safety-...loves/superguard-blue-nitrile/p/A9767470Cotter pins are very cheap - often 19c for 200 pack https://www.repco.com.au/en/search/?sort=price_METRO-TIER_1-asc&q=cotter+pins%3Amatching&show=Page# (just sort by price and scroll down to see cheap ones)
Fibre drain plug washers - about 4c for 20 - 40 (same price for both - I bought both and can't ascertain which pack corresponds to which listing)
https://www.repco.com.au/en/safety-...ain-plug-washers-fibre-c150-1/p/A7429509https://www.repco.com.au/en/safety-...in-plug-washers-fibre-c150-10/p/A7573472 (EDIT - the boxes say 1/2 inch - should fit commodore, etc)
O rings - hard to ascertain which is which (I bought a few) but these are the main ones I think
https://www.repco.com.au/en/clearance/champion-o-ring-assortment-pack-10mm-x-2-5mm-c408-7/p/A7536682https://www.repco.com.au/en/clearance/champion-o-ring-assortment-pack-c116-11/p/A7492944With regard to spark plugs, N9YX are on clearance for $1.86, Bosch WR8DP are 70c, the rest are a gamble. There are some on the website just labelled "bosch super spark plug for between 4c to 20c each. Its luck of the draw.
All I can say for certain is one of the 14c ones is a wr6dc, others taper fit, another looks like a br2-lm with a protruded tip.
There is also WR8KI33S (Iridium - will fit BP6ES or n9yc) for $1
There are other things like 12v camp showers for $3, car clean mitts, ratchet straps, car wash soap, glass cleaner, even some cheapish (compared to retail) JVC stereos and subwoofers if you are so inclined
Anyway, hope it helps someone get some cheap parts
