...I mean there's 75 quid of oil in it that's just gone in and a tank of petrol, my 'new' CD player. I could make a fortune on this car

I've bought the same oil from Opie Oils in Cornwall and it still cost me roughly that amount for Castrol Edge Magnatec. |

My last T5 was leaking so much oil from the turbo oil pipe I had to drive to London and back with 20 litres of the stuff in the boot. When I got back the warning light was on and I had none left - should have got the train (First Class and stayed in a central London hotel - and got a show in).

If I had more time, I would more than likely have been able to get it online for a bit less. Gary

Currently using up the remains of a 50 litre tub of 0/30W synth bought from our local Indy Volkswagen outlet which cost £78 for the tub!!
I still have over 25 or more litres left after changing the oil in my V70 & C70 as well as my son's '92 Eunos/MX5 - plus top ups. Shop around and thou shalt find quality oil! :

I will make sure I have more search time, before the next service, in about 10 months time. Gary

Mine is badly faded with white/grey discolouring too so shining it alone would be no good.

You can also use a trim restorer like G-techniq C4, that can last up to two years before reapplication is required. It is expensive at about £25 for 15ml, but can do at least one to two cars and is only required every couple of years. Another solution is to 'sweat' the plastic with a hot air gun, as it brings some of the oils out of the plastic, to the surface, but overdoing this can make the trim very brittle. My last treatment was Autobrite Endurance tyre and trim dressing gel. Works very well. Gary
