Guest

I know some are struggling to get it so thought I'd save the 'I can't find any' thread and just post this so people can say where does have some or if they know where is getting a delivery

That's why I said wasn't aimed at you but a bloke in the petrol stating with an evo said he was filling the tank 'incase' he needed it later in the week Rolling Eyes

From what's been mentioned still a processing issue, unsure how true it is but a lot are depending on octane booster to get them through. We're lucky we don't 'need' to use his car most of the time.

But you always use it and moan if I threaten to take it to Sainsburys Rolling Eyes

just spoke to shell garage at bladyon not good news Crying or Very sad

they have been told its nx wk b4 they get any, reason y the refinary at stanlow which makes v,power been sold to new onwers & they closed it to run checks on plant b4 signing paperwork (an mot on plant if you like) which has taking longer than expected

they hope 2 have stock in middle / end of nx wk

Update, I have been informed today that the only shell garage that has any left in the north east is the one just south of scotch corner (north bound)!!!

And the real reason why is the last batch of v-power didn't meet the octane standards so couldn't be sold as v-power!

Urgent Update - The Shell garage on the A1 Northbound at Scotch Corner now has no V-Power - I was in there putting Diesel V-Power into the Caddy and all the Petrol V-Power pumps were covered.

Had to laugh at the owner of a 56reg Ford Galaxy complaining to the clerk that he could not put V-Power into his beloved Galaxy and asked why there was none and when it was arriving? I think that my laughing sent the clerk into a fit of giggles and the Galaxy owner just frowned and walked out.

There is more on the way but they don't know when.

Well at least they were honest in not selling unleaded 95ron as v-power, like i've seen and heard about other places doing, Knocklinks and KS3's lighting up like crimbo tree's lol!
