    No the shelves were empty when I got there.
    I did ask but was told to try a bigger store.

    I was there at 08:10, headed straight for the cheese and grabbed 6, then went a did the rest of my shopping. By the time I passed the cheese half an hour later there was about 2 packs left. Problem with going down there is I seem to bump into a lot of neighbours that I don't see at any other time. Couple that with the amount I had been saving to get so I could make use of the £5 off £30 voucher and it took me a LOT longer than usual!

    Thanks it was a full service at a local garage. There is no management lights on but it has started sounding a bit ‘gravelly’ lately which prompted me to check the oil.



    How do you know it's "empty" is it showing nothing on the dipstick? car won't run on empty and you would have serious engine damage,


    it would have been done on the service, sounds like you have a leak or burning oil...


    the oil is specific altho I use a better grade than needed :)


    T's had castrol edge RTC recently...top quality :)


    what car is it?

    went to lidls myself this morning and managed to grab 3 lots of cheese shelf full, but I think it was only because they have put a small label on the shelf and not moved it to the offers section. Also a couple of packs of the choc coated cookies.

    Or sump plug fallen out or oil filter not tightened , fuzzgun have you noticed any oil under your car, as loccar says no oil will cause massive damage:(

    Thanks. Just it looked like nothing was on the dipstick, but I will check again tomorrow.
    It’s a petrol qashqai, I looked up the oil and need 5w40 and see B&M sell it.
    The car seems to be running fine just this gravelly sound like I said, usually first thing until the car warms up.
