It pays to shop around

[DiscoDan]

I did a search earlier about oil to run in the TD5 and the overall consensus seemed to be use Penrite Diesel HPR5.

So I toddled off to AutoBarn Logan to buy it and it was $99.99 for 10 litres, bugger I thought that is a bit high, so I packed the kids back in the car and went down to SuperCheap Springwood and the same stuff $84.98, so I checked the other things I was going to get and they were also 10-15% cheaper.

AutoBarn is my choice of supplier but I am going to have to shop around more. AutoBarn also had the Oil in 20lt drums $189.00.

Are there any cheaper suppliers?

Oh and the other thing SuperCheap was selling Silicon hoses, all gerneric but has anyone had any dealings with these?

Hi mods, I think this is more suited to general chat so made a copy there,

could you delete this thread?

Thanks

Yes it pays to shop around. But these days I look at it this way. If I only want 1 item, then I way up my time and the distance I have to travel, no good travelling kms and using up the savings made in extra fuel used to get the savings....... However I must admit in days gone by I would travel to save a scheckle or two, just to protest against the dearer retailer and begrudging paying more at one place over another.:(
