last lot from smith and allen on ebay but there are loads to choose from, i normally pay under fifty quid.

+1 on Smith & Allan. Their eBay shop is cheaper than direct, or was. :-/

Or Eurocarparts when they have a decent deal. Wait and you can get 70% off. This Bank Holiday was 50%. Today was 30%.

10/40W for the oil burner. I change it every 5k miles.

My defender would go through oil like fuel, every tank. Atleast with bmw unit it stays in there.

My brand new BMW 325 used nearly a pint of oil every 100 miles, BMW said this was normal and would improve as it ran in. It didn't, by 30K miles I needed to carry 5 litres of oil to go from the south coast to Birmingham

Wow that's crazy for a new car even after 30k? Heard that about few BMW's and burning oil apparently it's normal but surely new technology and engine design rids this? Makes P38's seem simple

Wow. The fact they can get away with just saying that’s normal is the sort of thing you’d expect from a back street garage of low reputation
I have heard these newer diesels burn their oil slowly as a matter of course though
