So I called Vx Heathrow, as I need an aircon valve for the 3.2, I asked about oil prices while I was on the phone. Currently offering £8.99 + vat (£10.79) for a 5L bottle of GM's 10/40.
Not bad :y :y :y
PaulS- I have them my number, so you should not get a call this time :)

What's not to like?.... :y
My local Vx dealer has it marked up on the shelf at something like £38......Presumably for those with more money than sense.

Always pays to ask :y

I was offered TC on oil recently at a local dealer and should have taken the guys arm off as I went back yesterday and saw a different fella who wouldn't give me any discount and it was £28 + VAT for 5 ltrs. :(
So out of interest I inquired about cam cover gaskets and was told that they only sold the cam covers and gaskets as a set! £129 + VAT each!! :o I didn't pursue it further as I decided that I wasn't going to get any favours, and the fella was wrong. ::)
Was he wrong? or have they changed their policy? :-\
