Have Trade Club stop publishing prices on their website ?? I can't find any useful info there at all... you used to be able to see what they had and at what price .. now its just "information" but nothing useable !

Since the demise (or scarcity at least) of the VX 4 for 3 on GM 10/40 semi, I have been using triple QX from Eurocraprats. They were doing a bogof offer a couple of weeks ago, got 20 L for £36.
Not sure if the offer is still going or not.
You can get some reasonable deals on genuine VX oil in bulk on ebay, usually from the more savvy main dealer groups :y

Quite handy if your local dealer has become a fanatical den of Onanism ::)

Like this bloke  ;D ;D

Indeed ;D

I paid £57 for 20 litres of fully synth not so long ago from a dealer with an ounce of sense... really does pay to shop around :y

Thanks for the heads up :)

All 3 Skurrays dealerships sold all their assets to either Now or Eden due to the owner not wanting to play certain games any more.  Shame, as a small group, I found them one of the better dealers.

only use it on swmbo's car (mig gets 5W40 fully syn, gulf or halfords) but currently qx semi 10W40 is £14.99/5l and up to £15 off at carparts4less (aka ecp) .  bizarrely QX 5W40 fully syn is a bit cheaper.

codes are CP5LESS, CP10LESS, CP15LESS
