Hi,

Schoolboy question. at petrol stations in south africa they have (free) water available to fill up if you need and (free) tissue to wipe your dipstick when checking your oil levels and pleasant attendants to get you some oil if you need it.

this country doesn't seem to offer these (I understand the lack of attendants) things at garages and my mate says his mechanic does all that when he gets a service which i think is a load of crap.

do they even sell oil at petrol stations here. (I've not looked properly to be completely honest)

Any advise for me and the Rover will be appreciated.

Thanks,
