I stand corrected, at today's exchange rate 91 GBP = $143.29
So I still want the naked angels.

Hi David

We have contacted a different person at ZF, who has said we can now get hold of this.
Very sorry about this, it appears we were given some incorrect information.

As my previous email said, we do have 1x 1litre Bottle in stock. We can supply this at £19.90 +VAT as previously quoted.
However, now we have been told we can buy it, it turns out the sale price for any other bottles is £91.06 + VAT now.

I don't think that naked angels are silly in the least. Being that they can be male or female and of any age or weight, the prospect of them suddenly appearing is quite frightening, at least to me.


Guy- are you not intending to change the fluid completely and just want to top us with the magic additive?

If the fluid is changed completely is any magic additive needed?

The experience I've had with UK versus US prices is that if it's 91 GBP this side of the pond, it'll be $91 your side of the pond. Companies seem to forget the nuisance of exchange rates etc and go for dollar = pound. If this is the case with Lifeguardfluid 1, you might find you only get charged $91 from a US supplier.

I know, the price is a bit of a rip off, but it would still be cheaper than what we have to pay over here. Mention German product and the price immediately goes up!

I for one would like to try the additive approach as mine is low mileage and a flock of birds has now taken up residence in my transmission tunnel.

Sorry folks, been away.
Thank you for your observations. It is true I was wishing only for the female angels... of discerning proportions.
Seriously though: I will not be using the additive and will be using the LG6+ for a complete fluid change. (The latest suggestion from ZF). And yes, that includes the new pan as well.

Cheers!
