I haven't looked at prices recently as I've been using S&A but I bought 20 litres of it for £46.49 back in 2021. |

Mannol oil is great oil - I use it for my business, but unfortunately they don't make a C1 specification oil.
They certainly do - Mannol 7723. |

Wild, random guess - roof antenna? I believe the cables from the antenna are routed down the rear right hand side of the boot, down the D pillar. |
