Ah, mystery solved, turns out it from a Neighbour across the way, White Van Man, left them for me after doing a Garage clear out this morning for someone.
just been over to thank him and ask if I owe him anything, his response, 'nope your fine, there for your Vauxhall thing'ys, no good to me Ive got a Ford', at which point I nearly said, yea but.... then thought, shut up Chris, just be grateful. ;)
Now next question, Full Synth 5W30, ok for the occasional small top ups with normal 10W40 semi in there? :-\
-
but dont most fords use 5/30 anyway lol

-

Ah ok, fairly sure it was when I checked, probably means the sale offer closes tonight at 12 midnight, I had this before with Halfords they seem to close the door online about an hour before! :-\

Yep. I've stocked up on it. :y

10.00 is a Bl**dly good price TBH, free is even better, shame this freebie didn;t happen yesterday as doing the homework reckon I would have bought some more.
Having said that, just saved crap loads online on there 'better than half price' for the Turtle Wax gear.
;)

Worth popping into Halfrauds just in case. They had piles of oil at a tenner for 4l in the local one a week or so ago.
-
Kevin thats for suggesting that:
I went to Halfords and they didn't have any - went home and website said they did, so I did a reserve and collect. Went to pickup today and they gave me semi synth Ford oil, so I say not what I ordered. They say sorry we don't have the GM fully synth in 4ltrs, oh but we do have it in a combination of 5ltr and 2ltr cans - you will end up with an extra litre but we will do it for the same price, is that ok?
So 17ltrs for £40 :-)

Did better than Me Steve, went to pick up my less than half price Turtle Wax stuff and bits, saving a fair bit.
When asked about the Fully Synth for a Tenner they just fell about laughing. :(
-
Disapointing - my branch did say they had shifted a hugh quantity with garages coming in and buying 20 or 30 cans a time!
At least you got the other bits :-)

I went into get some and completely sold out so he rang through to another and yep sold out , so no doubt these garages will be forwarding on a hefty price for oil changes with all the cheap oil they stocked up on ::)

Yes, I bet they won't say "....we have some really cheap Halfords oil, would you like a bit of money off your service sir?" :-\

Probably more like, 'we will need to charge a bit more for the Oil Change as we would highly recommend Fully Synth on your Car' ::)
