Gearbox oil - Castrol TAF-X 75W-90 or equivalent

Postby GeoffSmith » Thu 02.06.2011, 13:44

OK. Opie only had 6 l left so Phil, Speck and I got 2l each at £8.50 per litre - sorry about everyone else. The Castrol recommended alternative and Opie's recommended Castrol alternative were different so I didn't get any (they were good enough to send the 6l with free delivery though) until we bottom out the best one. I will see if I can get the new GB underway for Donington so time for a new list! My aim is to get it for £20 for one fill (2l) and the optimum price is in batches of 12l so six at a time is good:

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.

Ah, so those of us who missed out on the last buy don't even get automatically included on this new list - is it only for the select few (again!) :lol:

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it


...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?

Nope.
I don't want to be on it now. I took a look through Opie's web site & bought some from there.
