Just wondering where folk get their gear oil from? Looking for 5L bottles or 25L drums in or around glasgow.

If it's for a series 3, try and get GL4 spec not GL5 as (I believe) that GL5 can leach out the brass from the syncro mesh gearing. To be fair it's not very easy to get hold off!! I've bought EP80/90 GL4 (comma oil) in the past from Wilkinson's which was a fraction of the price that Halfrauds wanted for it. Agricultural supplies might also be able to help.

Try clydebank oils at south street (they used to give some good deals for cash sales) or there is an other one (cant remember the name (might be fergusons or something like that) they are just behind Arco at Ibrox.   There is also Brogans in motherwell (I was in there the other day and they sell Elf synthetic engine oil for £13+ vat for five litres, try seeing how much you get for £13 at Halfrauds!!!)
