Want to buy the best dismantling lubricant and have seen recommendations for Plus Gas on this forum. Seem to remember using this in the past and want to ensure I buy the correct product. The one I remember is a blue can but have seen plus gas advertised in a different coloured can but called plus gas formula A, not worried about the can colour its what is inside I want, can anybody throw any light on this please and recommended sellers. Also spray or tin can where you apply by brush.

Always used the stuff in a blue can (aerosol)
Ebay is a good bet. Cheapest including postage seller I can find below.

Looks like they changed the can colours a few years ago. But the stuff inside is the same. Go to

Interesting, thought they may have changed the formulae due to environmental issues. Have used stuff from LIDL which is listed as a rust removal and lubricant dismantler but always worth having something else at hand, especially for these vehicles.

However if I was very rich I would buy one of those induction heater units ,it heats up the seized up part without any flame.

Thanks, them induction coils are expensive, I suppose you could hire it if you were really stuck on removing something that refuses to budge using lubricants.

WD40 is a bloody water dispelant not a penetrating oil
