Wynns carb cleaner from halfrauds is best.... (also called injector cleaner)

Its about £4.50 a tin retal, you get a big difference with trade, brings it down to around £2 a tin.

and guess who has a trade card  ;)  :D

Do you have a Vx trade card or autobahn stormers card?

get a "trade" invoice (normal invoice) from a Vaux Stealer... this you can show as "proof" that your in the trade.

make sure it puts a company name in the invoice.... at a guess even if its "autobahn stomers" some spotty 16yr old punk, in halfrauds won't know the difference  ;) ;D

wicked the VX numptys put me down as autobahn stormers and then my name on the invoice on 2 separate occasions might have to take a trip to halfords.

If you want you can sometimes "bulk buy" cheaply on fleabay .. I got 8 x 500 ml cans for £15 inc postage a few months back.

Nothing obvious/cheap at the moment but this could be a possibilty ... works out at less than £3 a can ....
