Where best to get LHM?

harryb.48 · Unread post by **harryb.48** » 15 Mar 2005, 18:26

After a close inspection of the filters in the LHM tank I found them to be rather dirty,so will need to get them cleaned and tank filled with new LHM.
I would start with Hydraflush ,but the LHM looks very clean and because I don`t do a high mileage in this car I don`t want to have hydraflush in it if/when I "dispose" of the car.
Presumably Citroen is the most expensive ,so can anyone tell me where best to get the LHM? Could I get it from a local supplier?
Any saving would be welcome as I am not exactly flush [:I][:I]at the moment[:I]
Also,any tips would be appreciated.
Thanks.
PS Its a Xantia estate 73 k miles (1.8 petrol)

The best place is probably GSF... generally they're the best on price.
<WHINGE> I'd buy all of my Citroen bits from GSF if they had a branch local to me. </WHINGE>

i get mine from my local factors, mainly due to the fact i dont have a gsf particularly close to me, (1 hour away on a route i dont use!) so would always have the postage, and aslo that the local factors is a bit cheaper than gsf!!

I usually buy the LHM at gas station (Total, Esso, Aral) as it is surprisingly slightly cheaper there than when sold in car parts shops. [8)][?]

You can get it in Halfords too! Try to get the Total stuff though, the Bendix is a bit weak.

A belated thanks for all replies[:)]
I never thought of any service station having supplies ,or could it be only in europe? - I will look around soon.[:)]
I think we Scots have a lot in common with the Cornish then[^]

Nor did I think of Halfords - I suppose it`s because I`ve never been out looking for it before!

Halfords own brand stuff is about 6 quid a litre and most factors have it at about 5 a litre for varying brands. Last time i got some was a 5 litre can for 18 quid, think it was comma brand but i dont really remember. Remember citroen reccomends only total + but It all seems to be pretty much the same (although the total stuff is strangely luminous these days)

I pay £3.78 for a litre of Comma stuff from Part Co.
