[oranter]

yeh thats the only problem i give the local factors a try let you know

I allways get my filter kits from milners, and my engine oil from the local oil and fuel depot. 5 gallons engine oil for £43.00 you cant beat that anywhere. if you ring them and ask for engine oil for your vehicle, give them make model etc etc, and the milage they will recomend the oil suitable for your vehicle... made the world of difference to my terrano and my pocket....

Hope thats a fully synth cos even if it is it sounds abit pricey to me.

I use valvoline racing 20W/50, which has been recommended to me for older engines (mines a petrol, and the Mav/T2 lump, is pretty archaic compared to todays 16valvers) by a number of engine builders and thats about £18 for 5L IIRC. What are you getting for £43 and I'll check my local stockist for a price, going there tomorrow.

EDIT: Note further reply below.

i can get the oil very cheep as im a lorry driver and we use 15 40 diesel oil so that saves a fortune

Hi All

Just used Milners for first time.Bought full service kit for £17 including postage.Unfortuanstly I got wrong filters as mine is 96 model.It appears that there were changes to engine and therfore I ended getting filters for post 96 model rather than pre 96.Anyway phoned Milners and explained problem. They could,nt do enough for me. Its not until you have a problem when you realy see how good a company is.They weere fantastic and immediatly posted me correct filters.I would highly recommend their service although time will tell how good quality of product is.
