Hi Dean,
I take it you mean the BATCH of 7 litres (Which was £16:00 last night, now currently £21) well I am watching it, but to date I've not placed a bid !
I was hoping to place a stealth last second bid IF this price was low (but as its £21 + £7:50 postage = £28:50) I think I'll not bother as I can some locally from GSF for £4.26 / Litre :D

There's a 6 Litre Batch of 'Unipart' brand for £30 on a 'BIN' with FREE postage :D

Also there's 'Comma' 4.5 Litres for £15:99 + £4:99 postage = £20:98 !

Okay I know the second two are not 'Total' brand but its still LHM+ and its all made to an standard/spec. so the brand/make has never bothered me as I always used to buy the Morris brand for approx. £3 litre from GSF but it's gone up in price in the last 12 months along as all car spares :evil:

The current GSF prices are :-
Pt. No. ------------BRAND ----- Qty. ----------- Price
N98102 ------Morris - LHM+ 1 Litre -- £3.70 + VAT @15% = £4.26
N98104 ------TOTAL - LHM+ 1 Litre -- £4.50 + VAT @ 15% = £5.18

BTW remember VAT goes back up to 17.5% in January too :evil:

If your on the BXC Forum I believe you can print yourself a GSF 10% discount voucher to use @ GSF for purchase's :D
I'm not on the FCF Forum so I don't know if they do the same for them guys !
Why do we not have a Club-XM forum, discount with GSF :?:

Well i can get Total for £4.50/litre from cit inc vat, so £21 is as high as i go now as even at the same price it saves me the time and fuel in going to get it, if it goes above this price though im out, im not so lazy that i would pay more to ovoid driving to collect it localy :lol:

Been watching the LHM but no bid as it is no the sort of thing that I would trust to be packaged for a safe delivery.

Oh Dear, Bidder #5 has dropped out/no longer an E-Bay user (Bid removed @ £20) :?

So Dean, this means your bid of £21 has now dropped back to £16 :!:
You now may have some fresh competition but as you have shown you hand of cards,
I will not bid against you and I hope the other guys do the same so you get a bargain batch of LHM delivered to your doorstep :D

I noticed they were selling it in Trago Mills at Newton Abbot last time I was in there, I think it was four pounds something I bought a couple of litres but I think it was cheaper at GSF.

I pay 950 yen for a litre of LHM+ here. I seldom need to buy it though as my XM is and has been miraculously free from leaks, a fact that stunned even the dealer :D

All of mine leak, but at present the cost of LHM is much less that the cost of putting them right :D :oops:
