Bought a set today... Won't let me collect even though I'm only 10 mins down the road! Got them for £35 via the Best Offer. Tried lower but no joy but still better than £39.

Re: What a place to put it!!!

Your meant to drain the oil when it's hot plus i always use a flush which you have to put in and run the engine on fast idle fit about 10mins. Never known anyone changing oil on a cold engine!
