NLA at GSF apparently - that's what I was told anyhow.

There's none in the warehouse and the only one showing on the system was
at my branch which cost me £30inc a couple of months ago. Here's hoping
they've bought in some stock or have 'found' more in their branches as it's
not something you find elsewhere easily. ECP don't list any.

I quite liked this.

If you open it in Google Chrome(ium) it will offer to translate.

It does supply the rather more refined "shavings" as a substitute for the original Norwegian word :D

Which branch told you it was NLA? :evil: It p's me off as they can get it from other brancvhes if head office are awaiting a consignment. (often that shows 0 on the screen at HO but a phone call to the guy who looks after ordering it tells you when its back in, or we get stuff interbranch which takes usually next day or the day after if its a weekend.

The GSF stuff is the total hydraurincage in the orange 5l bottle and i know its still in stock because i left a bottle in Liverpool a couple of weeks ago.

Whats that saying again? "look at what you can do for your customers rather than what you cant"

As in my other thread, none available in Dublin anyway. No such details of it not being available anymore, just lots of the guy looking around the area near the counter and puzzled it didnt materialise, till I gave up of my own accord and left.

The reason why it may not be available in the Dublin GSF branch is because they are independant from the GSF mainland branches....so will have their own suppliers for certain stock items. They may have stopped selling it due to lack of demand? Or from what you say...perhaps the sales guy didnt know what it was? I know i was the only one in the Liverpool branch who knew what it was when a customer wanted some....im sure one of my guys tried to pitch the guy on engine flush to do the job :shock: A swift educational kick in the nuts sorted that though :lol:

In any event, more irish customers are buying from england or on line due to the savings they make in sterling over the euro :wink:

I have bought oil over the intertubes and received it through the post (5L Total Quarz).

Yes you can! I've bought it by post from GSF in the past...

It comes in a plastic bag. No, seriously it does, they seal the can of hydraflush in a plastic bag in case of leaks..

Same with LHM...

Technically that is a correct translation of what the guy said - we just wouldn't say it that way :D
