Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Right so I need to chuck some oil into the tank. At the risk of asking stupid questions, if I were to pop into Halfords or something similar, what would I be looking for? Thanks

Assuming you're talking about engine oil, use fully synthetic oil, can't comment on viscosity index - check their flip charts when you get in, it'll probably be 0w40 or 10w40.

If it's power steering oil, use dexron 2 or 3 ATF unless there's a green sticker on the power steering reserve, in which case you use Pentosin CHF11S fluid.

Many thanks Mr May, that's very useful! Yeah, it's the engine oil, should have specified.
