I had to buy a couple of litres of "Halfords" LHM from my local store as an emergency top up when a pipe burst this afternoon - at £11.49 a litre!!

That'll teach me to not stock up, or carry a spare bottle in the car...

£11.49 a litre!!! Aouch!

I'm glad I keep waste LHM from scrappers to use in leaky cars/emergencies!

Using regular Mineral Oil (engine oil) and Hydraflush afterwards would be cheaper in the long run than Halfrauds LHM!

It's good for your hair too.. I once got a douche-vert when working under a Xantia, my hair was soaked with LHM and when I washed my hair it was the softest I've ever known it :lol:


Give a small bottle to SWMBO as a new kind of hair conditioner....

Oh and LHM tastes absolutely horrible. I once had an idea to empty an LHM reservoir by syphoning it and starting the syphon by sucking....

:twisted: :oops:

No, otherwise I'd be green-haired on an almost permanent basis...

I'd look like Tiny out of Tots TV.....

LHM in your hair is the least of your worries! :lol:

One of the worst that I've had is brick dust (terrible stuff) and also builder's foam - the expanding type that is impossible to get off anything let alone hair! :twisted: :lol: :lol:

Class! Expandable foam must be vicious stuff.

we had two apprentices decide to have an expandy foam fight at work once, took em almost a month to get it out of their hair the plonkers.
