Default Gearbox Oil

Is there any specific gearbox oil that anyone can recommend??

I use the Mobil 1 Fully Synthetic, not cheap but the box (touchwood) is still going strong (£12 per litre)

Yes its an uprated BC box with LSD. I had mine from PJ Motorsport in Wolverhampton but you should be able to get it from most places, ebay etc....
