Mail order fluids....

[Prof Prolapse]

I regularly use;

Gt85
Brake cleaner
White spray grease
Contact cleaner
Dry Chain lube
Paraffin

I've never found anywhere local that does all of them (to reduce shipping) or charges a decent price so I keep getting screwed by Halford's

Is anyone aware of such a website?

Cheers

Euro car parts have constant sales on, and definately sell white grease and brake cleaner - I'm sure they sell equivalents to the other products too.

I think the savings on postage will be marginal: you should shop around instead. For instance, I get parrafin from a outdoor / farm type shop near me, and it's only a few quid for 5 litres.

Cheers. Yeah I can shop around, paraffin at liquid oils distributor, crate of gt85 on eBay etc... It's just a ball ache, I alway seem to need something, and wondered if there was a better way.

I'll just keep stocking up when the deals are on.

If you fancy a day out and it isnt a million miles away, events like autojumbles or the classic bike shows held over the year are the cheapest place to get all of the items you mention above..GT85 is around £2 a can for example.

Do you not have a motor factors nearby?

Halfords brake cleaner £5.49 my local factors £1.99
Halfords Spray grease £3.99, factors £2.49
Your local garage should have a paraffin pump, 2 of mine do and its £1.19 a litre, compared to £6.99 for 2 litres.

Buying online is never going to be the cheapest, just find a local factors and go and stock up, Euro Car parts can be very cheap using their regular discount codes.

Tool station / screwfix sell a lot of this stuff, as does lidl/ aldi. Ecp always have some sort of offer on. A halfords trade card is always handy to have too. I tend to buy half a dozen tins when I see them cheap.

just ask the local shop to get the products you want

the local bike repairer doesn't stock anything but can get it just ask him and he calls the wholesaler there next day

Try Cromwells at Straiton too.

I usually stock up on cleaning/service products every 9-12 months online at Opie Oils http://www.opieoils.co.uk/basket.aspx

I think its free postage over £35, next day delivery, and often have special offers...

My mate's wife was buying fluids by mail order; if you buy 5 vials you get a free turkey-baster too...

[Prof Prolapse]

Forgot I'd started this...

Motorfactors nearby is st but that's where I go when possible, screwfix doesn't stock much at all, but again I go. Cromwells I've never been but was next to it yesterday! I just keep ending up at halfords or b&q on Sunday being shafted.

I was just hoping there was a one stop place. Eurocarparts I use a lot but only for parts so good shout there. Same for Opies.

Cheers all.

Multi buy Gt85 and brake cleaner off auction sites or Amazon. Double check the piece price before buying, though, some of the listings for 'deals' are not really..
