They label each bottle for different things even if it is the same grade. The Mobil 10w40 will be perfectly fine.

Sump washer should be readily available from VX for less than a tenner with the filter included.

VX used to be the cheapest place to buy service parts. Don't presume your local factors are the cheapest place, or that the dealership parts are always the most expensive.

And it might be possible that this is still the case, especially for the Desmond. You should be able to do an oil change for sub £40 using genuine* parts, plugs air and pollen filter should be lnotably ess than £100.

* Genuine being actual VX branded parts rather than some unknown 'OE' brand that will change according to the last sales rep that came in. They are rarely the same thing and usually cost more than going to the dealer.

Surely the 2.2 doesn't have a sump plug washer? Most VX's have a sump plug with a bonded in O ring

Didnt realise VX Oil filters were costing that much these days, I used to have a trade club card and thinking back am sure I saw filters at £1.59 or £1.89

Is the trade clun card still available.?

Talking parts and owning 3 Omegas, I have bought parts when I have seen a bargain.

I have a pair of rear springs
Full sets of disks/pads/shoes + pins/tension springs and sensors.

Oil/air/pollen filters

Dip/main beam Night breakers or what ever they are called. ::)

I have a gates timing kit for the Elite

Only thing I need to get at the mo are some spark plugs and a timeing kit for the 2.2 (and a water pump + fan belt) for when its serviced.
