    Spotted on HUKD. Halfords have a range of their own brand motor oils on sale for £10. If you spend £30 or more you can get free delivery. I bought 3 of the 5W40 oils for £30 and delivered to Parcel motel so 12 litres for around €40 to my door. Link

    Will 3 bottles fit in the locker?

    And will they put the three bottles in one package? Possibility that they might be send individually.

    Based on what I've seen of the bigger lockers I'd be surprised if it was a problem to be honest unless Halfords go way over the top with packaging. That said it will be over the 10kg limit now that I look if all 3 are in one package so it may not work out. Time will tell I guess. You could also try the trick of using your home address and putting in a Northern postal code.

    Not seeing it on their website? I see 20% off castrol and halfords oils as opposed to 70% off.

    You'd have to apply heat of approx. 400f to get it to combust so I doubt this is what PM have in mind. Anyway apparently the deal is now instore in halfords here at €12.50 per 4L so no need to book via the UK website really.
