KugaWestie Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Anyone bought any lately? A quick search of the Bay shows nothing.........so where is the best/cheapest place to get a tube? Footnote - will SteveD be the first to reply? Quote
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Last tube I bought is still going strong, you need so little, it seems to really go a long way. Quote
KugaWestie Posted January 28, 2014 Author Posted January 28, 2014 Booo, where is SteveD Where did you get it Dave? Quote
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Mind you, with a whole wiring loom to fit, it's about to get some hammer! Quote
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 I can't remember, but it wasn't eBay, which probably means I didn't find any on the 'Bay back then, either. Quote
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Just found the invoice, I paid £8.75 from Extreme Auto Accessories last April, via Amazon. Quote
KugaWestie Posted January 28, 2014 Author Posted January 28, 2014 Damn, non coming up on Amazon 1 Quote
KugaWestie Posted January 28, 2014 Author Posted January 28, 2014 £14.50 + £3.75P&P from AES is all I have found so far Quote
KugaWestie Posted January 29, 2014 Author Posted January 29, 2014 I looked on their website and could only see a small sachet? Quote
Mark (smokey mow) Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 I looked on their website and could only see a small sachet?likewise, but 3 sachets from Maplin are equivalent in volume to one tube from AES and works out at the same price Quote
KugaWestie Posted January 29, 2014 Author Posted January 29, 2014 No stock anywhere within a 25 mile radius Quote
Hellski Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 It seems Contralube is becoming a little hard to get with only a few places showing stock; Gary I checked our local Maplin stores and they show out of stock here too. Having a look online, I came across a similar product from uk.rs-online, would this be a suitable alternative? Link Quote
SootySport Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 What's Contralube? Should I be using it? Do I need it? Quote
Welly Jen Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 It is a magic grease for putting in electrical contacts. Keeps out moisture and stops plugs and sockets corroding, reducing the risk of weird electrical gremlins. As championed on this forum by Cerrioli, who used it on his year round long distance driving Westfield. Very good for electrics in harsh environments, like cars and boats. I bought a tube via Ebay recently. They do come up every so often. It will probably last me the rest of my life! Done all the plugs in the engine bay. I'll move on to the dash board soon. There are two sorts. The best for us is Contralube 770. A quick Google will give you their web site and all the info. Do you need it? If you use the car all year round, then it could well help. If just on dry summer days and stored in a dry garage, then probably not. Jen Quote
