Best place to buy 'fluids'

Post by Arthurdaily »

Hi all, where do YOU buy all your servicing bits? Classic oil, ep90, etc... Is there any Morris supplier online that supplies EVERYTHING, you see I have looked on Bull Motiff, and their lubricants, for example Hypoid oil, is 80/90 or something, and not ep90 - so is there a ONE STOP shop...? :D

Indeed is there a list, on this website, of all Morris Minor suppliers online?

Thanks!

Euro car parts sell ep90 and im pretty sure they sell the other oils aswell

some couriers don't allow liquids on their vans. so although suppliers may advertise fluids, they may not be able to deliver them. i'd suggest finding somewhere local, but ofcourse making sure that the axle oil is the right stuff that won't disolve diff. failing that, contact suppliers to see if their couriers will allow fluids.

Your local discount motor store should have everything. In my area it's Wilco, and they even have a stock of the FS series of keys, as well as the oils.

As above - support your local Autoparts place. Madness to pay carriage on fluids - and don't be fooled - there is NO 'free' carriage - the cost is in the price..... Go in wearing a grubby boilersuit, and ask for discount! Or if you must - Hellfrauds - but they 'never' have anything I need....and the prices of the stuff they Do have just terrifies me........ I believe they have a staff discount of ~ 50 %, so if you can get a job there, or know someone who works there, the savings could be considerable! Just goes to show their mark-up though. :-?

The shop is known localy as Jimmy two tills :lol: a club i was in years ago used to bulk buy a couple of weeks before the nationals saving members ££££££££ and picking it up then. i always find car shows are pretty reasonable but end up spending way too much money on stuff i dont need :oops:

where are you located?
i use (now) a local warehouse shop called 'classic oils' - absolutely brilliant! -- and you can talk to a human being -- + it's reasonably priced
