    Fuzzgun probably specific and even the amount is a measured amount, too much is as damaging as too little, what type of service was done, is a management light on, an engine will not run with no oil, think you need to get someone who knows what they are doing if you honestly think it's empty, and do not drive it if it is:eek:

    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.

    Good morning everyone. Been out and got my cheese from lidl. Dated 29/12 which is good. Has anyone else noticed an absence of freeway fizzy pop in lidl/ Dd loves their coke zero but not seen any for months. Getting the Aldi instead which is not quite as nice.

    I also did 3 more asda shops to use my apgs. Lady on the till told me they were stopping it because people actually pick them up and use other peoples :eek::eek::rotfl::rotfl:I just nodded as I used 6.

    I am starting to get sick of shopping. Is anyone else feeling it is a chore to use them up, but still picking more up each time you shop :D. Think I will be so glad when it ends as I will certainly be spending more time at home and using up out of the cupboards & freezer.

    Heaven forbid lol . People shouldn't litter the carparks then should they. Just got back from a day trip to Shrewsbury.

    It should never show no oil, if you get the right oil to top up make a not of how much you add, find out how much your car actually takes too.

    Yes I've missed the diet freeway for months & months too xx

    Aldi and tesco were both out of their own brand coke over the summer, wonder if theres something going on with carbonated beverages, shortage of gas?

    just back from La Tasca, i converted a LOT of Mr T vouchers before the summer to use but we didnt use them so went for my birthday to use some up (still got £200 left of various outlets) spent 59p on food and im sooooo full i could fall asleep. Tell you what though, even Matt said it wasnt worth £60 but was deffo worth 59p :rotfl:

    It's been going on since June when we were away, even beer pumps were out of order in pubs!
    Noticed that there's no shortage of the expensive pop brands though.

    Afternoon peeps.
    Cheese sold out at 11.45 in the store I visited this morning!

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