Looks like it. You can get two 250ml tubs of Swarfega from Home Bargains for £1.98 though.

I'm interested in the chain cleaner which at 300ml for £1 is pretty good.

Think I'll grab some chain cleaner, and the lube, but definitely going to grab a chamois. Even the cheap ones at halfords are at least twice the price.

I picked up a can of the chain cleaner this morning.

Also had a look at the back of the bottle of the oil and it seems pretty decent. Up to specification of A3/4, B3/4 and MB 229.1.

The heavy duty hand cleaner is better than swarfega, we bought some ages ago, gets the oil from your hands with little effort. It is more like moist granules than a coloured slime with bits in. Will defo be going to get some more.

Well, I got the chain cleaner and spray, but I'm not sure I trust the spray.. it seems a bit thin, tbh. Think I'll stick to Rock Oil lube for the bike and keep the Lidl stuff for the pushbikes.

Chamois were decent though, and well worth grabbing a few at 3.99 each. Thumbs Up

Went to my local Lidl, got 2 cans of chain cleaner and a chamois, oh and a marble sponge cake Smile

They didn't have the hand cleaner though!
On my local Lidl they still have some stuff from the previous motorbike promotions, and some tank bags. If anyone is interested it's the Wembley Park branch.

Is the chain cleaner better than using paraffin? Suitable for O-rings as well I trust??
