Does anyone know how to increase the size of the cupholder in an xc?

Do you want to increase the cup holder to get a larger individual trifle floating in 2 pints of vodka in it.

That'll be my recommendation

Went through 17 litres before my fluid was clear red.

And i actually bought two 20ltr drums so still have 23 litres left

Also much easier storing a 20 ltr drum than 4 or 5 smaller bottles.

Did you keep on flushing it or did you do multiply changes. What year is your car.

How the hell do they manage to ship a 20L container from the Fatherland to the UK for
£6.42 ?

Its all to do with favourable courier contracts/footprint size of item/cheaper Euro diesel/ or very strong carrier pigeons!
They most certainly are not shipping your order 'solo'.

I had my auto fluid changed on Wednesday by Auto Slave in Luton.

It was a very nice reddish black, now clear red.

The box is very happy, I've done 350 miles since and no issues at all
