Angry how hard can it be?

Hi can anyone tell me where i might be able to purchase some decent gearbox and diff oil as i want to do a fluid change on my99.All the local big stores have would be sufficient to fry my chips in tonight.Local subaru garage got the hump and wont sell direct and only use their oil if they do service.Anywhere local to Bham just so i can feel better that ive put new fluid in my car at its service.
Regards
Gene

Halfrauds usually have Castrol Syntrax (75w-90) good if expensive.

Edited to say a small squeezable bottle with a tube would be v. useful for the diff and a funnel to refil the 'box.

Syntrax is the best stuff. Halfrauds have it. You'll need a funnel with a bendy pipe on it.
