A silly question I guess, but I can't seem to get the Shell petrol station finder to work!! 
I'm heading up to York soon, and on a 250-odd mile journey, I guess I'm going to need some Optimax on the way there and back!!
Does anyone know which services on the M1 has Optimax (between Nottingham and Sheffield is probably when I start panicing!!)?
I guess that York should be ok, as my host will be able to point me towards the nearest one!

Andy, The only one I know of is at J14 services(There's one just off J15 towards Northampton but that's a little far out of your way . J14 should be far enough up for you to make the refuel in York.
What we really need is a victor tanker full of optimax, so we can refuel mid drive anywhere we like.

Rich,
I 'm having problems with that site! I can search and it will display the overview map, but when I click on a petrol station the map doesn't display!
Neil,
Thanks! That will help for the journey back!
Cheers
Andy

Andy, Woodhall is the last one on the M1 before the M18, thats where i usually fill up when coming from London, and there plenty around York.
Are you going where i think you are going? on Sunday?

Cheers guys!
I think that's sorted then!!
A stop off on the way there, fill up in York and one for the journey home!
It's *only* a MY00 UK with some minor mods (for now!) Although I'm tempted to take some of the new mods up with me, especially with the experience to hand!!
Steven, I guess I'll see you there!

I think the directions I have are fine, along with the backup of an Autoroute map! Plus these petrol stations are on the route! I'll double check tonight, any issues I'll drop you mail!
Now I just need to find someone willing to fit some drop links and a lower brace on my car!

You saying i need to take my jack and socket set with me, so that Mr Wallis or anyone else for that matter can do it
Only reason i ask re directions, is i think certain people go the long winded way, and certainly autoroute suggests the long winded way
Kate, look forward to meeting you, heard a lot about you

Steven,
You know where I'm going and I'm starting on the M25, so your directions will be useful!
Drop me a mail!
Cheers
Andy
PS - I'm sure our host will have sockets sets and jacks!!!

Thanks again to everyone!
Managed to get to York with about 5 hours driving on Saturday afternoon!!
Taking nearly 2 hours to get off the M25!!! 
And it only took half a tank of fuel!!!
Coming back yesterday took just over 3 hours and tank full of fuel!!
