Yes you are right of course, highway robbery both sides of the pond, but its swings and roundabouts, I will ask my brother in law to bring a couple of cans over from Canada next time hes over.

I also just purchased a 1l can for my 450sl, £49 from ebay.


The SL has done 154,000 miles and when I do this a bit of smoke tends to come out the back. Will be interesting to see what it is like after the restore.

Fingers crossed it works for you mate! For me it was preventive medicine and on advisement by certain members of the forum re Nicosil motors.
Will be very interested in your obs after the requisite 300/500 miles run in period, I will be lucky to do that this summer then its back to bed for him, LOL's
