Didn't realise it would be so difficult, in the end I went for https://www.mytyres.co.uk/ as they were showing it in stock, it turned out to be a German company that ship from Germany. Not normally a problem.
Ordered Monday morning at 09.00 and hadn't received an email stating it was being shipped, so phoned Tuesday afternoon (when I then found out it was being shipped from Germany), spoke to a German chap and got a very curt response saying that the order had been sent to the warehouse and when it was collected I would get an email, it would then take 3-5 working days to be delivered.
I had the temerity to ask when this might be, to be told it would be when the courier company decide to collect it. I questioned this and was told that if I was dissatisfied they could refund my payment, although very tempted I declined.......still waiting for the email and was foolishly planning to change the oil this weekend..:nonchalance:

The question is, is there a seller that anyone can recommend for next time....:o

Yes, looked there and the delivery time was the 27th, foolishly I passed them up.
In fact I've just cancelled the order with MyTyres as they still don't know when it will be shipped, and will order from Opie, thanks for that.

Smith and Allan do oils under their own brand name which are a bit cheaper .
I used them for gear oil and it was fraction of the Volvo Penta price. I may well buy their engine oil next time.
