just a little update

opieoils are selling 2 litres of castrol saf xj on ebay for £24.99 with free postage to mainland britain

i know this as i have just bought some as my diff has been dripping constantly for the two years i have owned the car (never driven it by the way) so i figured there cant be much left in there. :D
