Default Diff Oil in the UK?

Which dealer in the UK actually has stock of various weights of Diff oil? I've got my centre diff for my EB4 but can't find anyone with stock of any oil. I've searched various web sites and a few have one weight or other but none have a range, my LHS thought I was mad when I asked in there, they carry shock oil but no diff oil [&o]

Thanks

I had found that site but there was no 1000 oil there for my rear diff. As I'm pulling it to bits I thought I may as well replace them all and didn't want to be ordering from 2 or 3 places [X(]

That is more like it, thanks. Looking down the list there are almost too many options [X(]

What is the difference between 5000wt and 5000CPS?

Wt and CPS are 2 different measurements for oil viscosity ... much like Temerature, where you have deg F and deg C. Have a look at [link=http://www.twf8.ws/new/home.htm]TWF8[/link] under tips and then shocks. There is some really good info there.
