£7.95 a litre..... try Costco, by recollection it was around £23 +VAT for 4litres when I got some in December for my service and the price was still around there a couple of weeks ago.... is the only reason I got membership!
....will look again on Saturday to see if it has gone up since

Got some yesterday at Costco Derby - £19.95 + vat = £23

Thats the reason I got membership too, with OPC's charging £15 a litre, the membership pays for itself, Got one of those sexy aluminium trolley jacks there too......and microfiber cloths and..........

How much was the alloy trolly Jack?

Hi Karel, its an Arcan one, I found out about it here:

Ideal Cerbera trolley jack?

Its in blue now, like this:

ARCAN ALUMINIUM 1.8 TON LOW ENTRY QUICK TROLLEY JACK on eBay, also, Lifting Tools, Garage Equipment Tools, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 09-Mar-09 17:47:45 GMT)

I think the price has not changed - £70 + Vat

Can you elaborate on the bolts?

Yes........ Disturbingly - Early on in the Jack's Life....
I Lifted my CS and the Jack Seemed 'Wobbly' (Not Good with CS Wheels Off! - I Jack on the Rear Lifting Point and Get the Whole Side - 2 Wheels - 'AirBorne' to Save Time....).

At the End of the Procedure - Several of the Bolts on the Jack were noted (over the 4 months I had had it) to have 'Backed Out'...........

Upon Inspection - All the Bolts were Loose......? So 15 Minutes with 2 allen keys and Loctite Threadlock - 2 years on...... Still Solid and Firm.....

And to refer to another Thread - I Don't Use a 'Fancy' Jack Pad......

I Have an Ice Hockey Puck - £3.00 on Ebay - (Drilled in the Centre and 1/2 a Modern 'Plastic' Wine Cork, Screwed to it...) Pad and Locator - Soft and Protective - with Good Low Profile.............!

I wouldn't know where to start with the bolts, I'll keep checking them. I've used it three times, once to change the wheels and twice to remove them for a good clean.

I'll check the bolts when I get home.

I have not used any pads, should I be using one?

I've seen the ally ones on ebay, but don't know what their purpose is with a rubber pad on the jack. Am I missing something?

Good Man........

Glad to have Provoked Debate and Found Better Prices For All................

Keep Up the Good Work..............

Although Please Remember - Costco is Not an Option for Many of Us..............

or get some for anyone in the Notts/Derby area for that matter

Good Man = Very Good Man.................

Thanks for the Offer.... Good to See the CaymanClub is a 'Self Help' Resource for All.....................
