Thank you. Shame we were in Salisbury this morning

Cheers Kev, thanks for the heads up.

Just ordered 30 litres and even with the usual "non-UK mainland" ( ) parcelforce shipping to Moray, it works out at only just over £4 a litre. That's me fixed for the next few oil changes!

Kev 2010 TDV8 - current - my first RRS, loving it so far......
2005 Cayenne S - handling defied physics and what a sound, so sod the mpg!
1995 Disco TDI- surprisingly reliable, shame about the peeling dash & other trim
Lots of other non 4X4's in between times.........

I'm glad you found it of use Kev  Kev

Hi kev,
think you must have put about £500 of business their way

adding up from here, D3 and I re-posted on FL2 must have been 25-30 ordered

Good spot (currently waiting for mine to be delivered between 16:00-17:00 and its 16:34 now)

Perhaps I should contact them for a bit of commission

It's a handy shop to know about. They usually buy a lot of end of line and bankrupt stock and sell it at a good price.

I live just around the corner from their shop in Poole. I did a double take when I walked past it on the shelf and saw AF-L on the bottle. Kev

Managed to find this thread through the search while looking for oil recommendations .. handy, that.

Ordered 20L as I've no idea how much an oil change is on the TDV8 but I figure that ought to do me two at least  2014 BMW 530d Touring, 2006 BMW 650i, 2018 Mini Cooper S

It looks like you got some of the last few bottles Aaron. They are all sold out now. Kev
