I didn't think anyone bought jazz mags anymore.  :-\

The snowflake generation of young lads will never know the joy of swapping a mag and finding the pages stuck together!  ;D

probably still sell them up north ( Doncaster and beyond ) where there's no internet  :y

The snowflake generation of young lads will never know the joy of swapping a mag and finding the pages stuck together!  ;D

Hence my brother's need for a 'jazz music stand' to keep reading material out of the firing line of the 'instrument' :y

anyway ......

OPTI LUBE , yay or nay  :-\



2 tubs would give me enough spare for spillage if the box needs 8 ltr

I use this

https://www.mil-specproducts.com/products/SHELL-DONAX-TX-OIL
not finding it on ebay or local supplier ,my postman is too lazy to deliver a 205L drum  ;D

I looked further into dexron 3 or better

found semi synthetic at ucp for £21 for 5L

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Triple-QX-ATF-Dexron-III-5-Litre-5L-Automatic-Transmission-Fluid-DII/352223598451?hash=item5202299773

or fully synthetic dexron VI made by exol for £24.45 per 5 L
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/351610927313

which reading the spec is backwards comparable ,better then dexron III

So I'm thinking of getting 2 of those for the devils gremlins (inside the auto gearbox) to keep them happy  :-\

also found "trade club" 10w40 semi @ £42 delivered , is that the stuff everyone uses ?
