So whilst it may be cheaper and seems our best solution now,its an akward container to use.

Too small to have a drain tap fitted and too big to pour easily.Solutions needed  :y

I bought a tap that screws on in place of the cap on a 20L oil can from my local factors. Slow to pour, but makes it easy to decant the oil into a more sensible container.

A quick EBay finds them at about six quid.

Just on this, I need to restock my supply.

Vx Heathrow offered me £35.47+vat (£42) if I buy 2x 20L or more. (10/40 Semi) Otherwise its £41+vat.

Can't beat Liverpool prices, but £10.50 per 5L is not bad.

Anyone near me interested?

I'd be up for 20L :y

Maybe more.. I'll have to check my stocks. ;D

Worth asking what they'll do the 5w30 for?

Rang them back and it's all change, for the better  :o :o :o

Now saying:

10/40 Semi in 20L Drum if buying 2 or more = £26.74 + vat so £32 in total  :)

5/30 Fully in "A1 Spec"  ??? -  £40.60+vat for 20L drum, again buying 2 or more.

Think before I was given trade price, not trade club.

That's a no, did hint at why as it's same parts if I order from Reading, just not TC prices.

Did appear open to getting parts delivered there, hummm. Faff though.

Vx Heathrow are on my commute, so can just call by.

Sooo.. anyone else want a can of 5W30? I know it's good on the shelf for a while but 40L would last me at least 3 years ;D

Can you buy it from the cheapest dealer, and pick it up from your nearest dealer? Works with Bracknell who are stroppy about TC for some reason. I just order it from Reading and pick it up at Bracknell. Although the two are part of Eden group. Not sure it will work outside a group within Vauxhall.
