I have just been onto the Opie oil web site to order some oil for my Discovery & when I put in our club discount code I was advised the code applied only to certain products and didn't apply to my purchases . Anyone else come across this?

Yeah, I phoned an order through a while back and got a "nah mate". I wasn't that bothered because it was already cheep. But it did feel like a bit of a "here's what you could have won" type moment.

Smith and Allen don't do that - I've ordered all sorts of oils off them without a problem. Not seen this with Opie before though - has something changed?

We'd better find out what actually is covered by our discount or we'll be wasting our time.

Let's hope Paddocks don't start this game - it's quite useful that discount!

I also note that Exmoor Trim are not on the Series 2 members discount page anymore. I was sure they did 5% discount.

My neighbours use opie for heating oil. I've had nothing but unhelpful treatment when I tried them and my partner, when she contacted them found herself talking to a misogynist. I won't go near them, bought my oils from Rye.

I've dropped out Advertising manager an email to see if some clarification on these discounts needs applying to the discount webpage.

Just following up on this one, I had the same when trying to buy a load of 15/40 for the defender. OK, it's not the right grade for the S2, so perhaps understandable.

Tried it again with some Millers mineral 20/50 in there and it still wouldn't accept it, "Only applicable to certain products". If bog standard 20/50 mineral isn't applicale to a S2 then not sure what is.

Still cheaper without the discount than most other places anyway, so not a big issue, just a shame they have a drop down of 100's of web-based car forums and we're not in there !

I've just ordered some Bilt Hamber products from Opie (discount code didn't work for me either) but I did find "The Series 2 Club Forum"  in the very long drop down list - it took some scrolling on a phone screen to find it!
