Oh come on chaps, are you all wet behind the ears?

I thought *everyone* knew that GSF put silly prices on, then always have massive discounts most days.

The LDS is actually £7.72 per litre if you reserve it and collect, or have it delivered (free)

That's one reason why I wont use GSF personally, Mike - I've enough to do without faffing about with codes and the like just to find they're still more costly than most places who publish their best prices directly. Why don't they just put £7.72 a litre in the first place? Probably just hoping most gullible types will pay their extortionate prices without question.

I must admit though, that 5 Litre £18 LDS delivered deal is a bit of a nugget if truth be told. :rock:

The polish ones are genuine parts made for Citroen

The label in the Pic says made in spain??
