    So, sadly my little 205 turbo diesel needs to be replaced, as much as I love it so, it's becoming too much hassle to maintain as a daily driver and parts aren't as cheap as you think now as availability just isn't there anymore. It won't be going for scrap though, but for now it will be going in...

    Question for oilman,

    Do you know much about Morris Lubricants? Are they a good manufacture of oils? or is it a case of "we don't deal with them so can't say"? also what are your thoughts on Miller oils? Cheers Brett
