Question

I'm in Wiltshire I need to know a reputable place to have my Scooby serviced/maintained. It's been run on Silkoline Oil and I'd kind of like to keep it that way. Thanks

Kinda depends which one you are talking about. Helix Plus is a semi-synth and is well suited for cars in the early stages of their lives.

Once beyond the 7-10,000 mile stage though, the most common recommendations here are Mobil 1 Motorsport 15/50, Motul 300V 15/50 and Castrol RS 10/60. IIRC the "Ultra" type Helix is a 0/40, and as such a bit thinner than ideal for a Scoob.
