thanks pid :cool

The yellow label MTF-LT1 is the spec of oil you require IIRC:thumbsup

The oil is supposed to be lifetime so you may find that you can only obtain it from the Stealers.

thought so lol thanks :thumbsup are there any other brands to consider or is it trousers down at the stealers :eek

 

[Pidster]

No it is best to get it from the stealers mate as that is specific for your box.
