    Locked out of a P38

    Be honest the cars around their house and has been a month or so since i last attempted... The key dosent open the lock,,,Im pressuming the lock is actually operated by electric rather than a standard physical lock..As it turns both ways with no "locking" resistance

    Smokey Diesel

    Cheers for the quick reply! Ive just found it on Halfords website.£20 for 4.5 litres.. Sorry for the dim question but, is there just 1 type for Diesel? If they are all suitable,my theory is the higher 15w40 is gonna be thicker..i.e not smoke as much as the thinner 10w40?
