filled up about half hour ago on Jersey Marine....... they havent completely run out.... they just put the signs on to stop you using the pumps. If you go there and ask nicely, they'll let you have some...... might not be a full tank but its better than sticking unleaded in...

Try to get Optimax on Jersey marine about 1/2 hour ago, no lucky. So, had to have Esso Super. Better than Unleaded I suppose

The only reply I got from the girl at the checkout was they've been waiting for a few day now. And didn't know when the next batch is coming in. No good news I'm affraid.

I've started to carry a bottle of octane booster around now as i dont want to be caught out not being able to get optimax.
Good news is that Tesco in Newport has the 99 Ron in stock

hey, don't supposed you've seen my posts about the black wrx sti that was stolen on monday from brynmill in swansea? Someone on here thinks they saw it heading carmarthen way, just wondering if any of you guys have seen it or if you can keep your eyes peeled for it. Its got a P1 spoiler, pretty recognisable. L402 NUD

Hi Mate,

good thanks. Just got hold of some new (well secondhand!) OZs for the motor - looks much better

The last two times I have been to Sarn for Optimax, they only have a couple of pumps of it, others have covers over them - something weird going on.

Yeah I filled up twice there last week, only one of the pumps had optimax, I might have to keep her topped up.

Just in case you didn't know, Optimax is now in Jersey Marine . Still didn't have an answer why the pumps were empty.
