OK I know is a couple years since I bought any LHM+ and oil prices have marched up the hill and down again but last time my excellent local motor factor supplied me with 5 ltrs of LHM+ for about £13. Popped down this morning and its £4.70 for 1 ltr. They say there supplier no longer does 5 ltr cans due to falling demand. Is it time to stock up with a 20 ltr drum from GSF or has anyone got cheaper source?

All mineral oil has jumped like that. Lot`s of other companys do LHM but all their stuff has gone up too.

that ebay listting works out at £6.42 per Lt if you but it now, i havent bought any from GSF lately but im sure it works out cheaper than that,

also GSF's is genuine TOTAL, and i would have thought that you 5ltr foctors alhma is not TOTAL

For what it's worth, Halfrauds charge £10.49 for a 1 litre bottle! Good job I have a Trade Card...that brings it down to £4.11 a bottle (actually £4.08 a bottle with the extra V.A.T. reduction

Ooh, at the moment I recycle my LHM. I brush it onto the garden furniture, and I must admit, it does work very well as a water repelant.

Maybe we should be looking at recycling to re use in the car----fine filtering and then boiling to remove the water !!!...

I know that one member in particular uses LHM as a substitute for hair conditioner

That is only one eBay listing, there are often quite a few. Not today though.

If not, what's the difference. I see LHM+ around at times and for some reason I think 'C5'

Is there actually any difference between all the makes and varieties of LHM? Surely it all comes from the same stuff?

My local Halfrauds doesn't even stock it. Offered me universal ATF instead!

Bought some from BMS in the end. £6-odd a litre, and not Total either.

It is odd that LHM is becoming difficult to get.

These people have lots of oils including LDS but no LHM.

Looks like it might be a usefull site, millions of different spheres, but no green juice for them

AEP Direct.

I don't recall anyone mentioning them here but possibly just forgot

NO NO NO!!

The C5 uses LDS (Liquide Direction Suspension), and is shared by the suspension and the steering. It is orange coloured.
