Just had a sudden rush of blood at Costco! 16 litres of mobile 1 0w-40 for 96 quid
Ive bought two new full sets of Michelin Pilot Sports for my 9972s, total cost of 1440 fitted. I am running the car on Pirelli p-zeros at the moment,the rears will need replacing soon, but the fronts are still fine so dont know what to do, maybe new rear pirelli, then a spare set of nice wheels for the Michelins?..
Anyway the up-shot is 720 a set til next Friday including fitting etc, they will even fit them upto one year after the purchase date, and upto 2 years for two sets. I dont think its a bad deal..any thoughts/comments?? I dread to think what the dealership would ask for a single set of 4 tyres..more than 720 I guess. And gopd knows on the oil!!
Ime hoping for just pads and serving now for a handful of years..wishful thinking maybe. cheers

I agree.

I got SLAUGHTERED for suggesting I take my own Mobil 1 for my service next week. But I couldn't give a toss! I just bought 12 litres for £72 sheets.

Bargain!

£720 a set! - didn't you get the 20% discount? I paid £580 for a full set for my 993C4S (although they were PS1s and it was over a year ago).
