Default NF Booster - who's the cheapest supplier

Last year I bought this at £10 a bottle plus about £10 for postage (for 30 bottles)

I've just had two quotes - one from the supplier I bought it from before - £387 all in and another from another supplier at £440

Whats going on - 2 quotes and 2 big differences. Am I likley to get much cheaper than the £387. I know there was a thread a while ago that had this at £9.50 plus Vat and then postage - but at the time I thought THAT was expensive.............

RCMS are the UK importer/distributor so I would try them first ?

Our local Pentland components car parts used to stock it at a good price but not sure if they still do.

If you get stuck, consider the Millers stuff available from AS Performance.

fwiw- I have four bottles of the 'old skool' viscon based NFRace. As opposed to the newer less potent mix.
£13 per bottle.

Ok - thanks
Got it from Pentland yesterday but it sure has gone up in price! - its Viscon

chrome
when driving it I use 1 bottle per tank - so I get through it
Although becuase of numerous problems with the car this year I've only done 2000 miles

Now I'm gonna drive it again............ gearbox is though now starting to whine (does this mean its on its way out?)

I have both Viscon and Vitane bottles here. I was aware that there was speculation that the formulation had changed.
In an e-mail from the manufacturer they state that Viscon and Vitane are the same product just (an ill judged IMHO) marketing and packaging change (ploy).
In practice I cannot see any change in knocklink activity or lack of it between the different packaged bottles. I also know the car is mapped pretty much to the edge so the lack of K.L. activity re-enforces my view that the product is the same.
