Real Loctite? In a real Loctite bottle?
What does it do? Gaskets, Threads, Remove Paint...
What Quantity...?

I don't know, but can you buy it on Marketplace for a fraction of the price and get it delivered from the same dealer by 12.00 today?
Sorry Clive, couldn't resist it!!

you could probably buy a lifetime's supply for the same price om Marketplace !
If ever there was a case for a need for Farm Marketplace than a dealers that tries take the pee with a £95 plus vat bill for "loctite" has to demonstrate it rather well !

You could just about put a Fendt together without bolts with 95 quid of loctite!
and I thought charging for a 'strip & fit' and a 'puncture' on the same tyre was creative

Had a "minor" breakdown a few weeks back, a cracked casting that had ti be replaced, mechanic called out at 3pm - parts ordered over night and running again by lunch the next day ...............£2796 !!
labour being £1500 of that and the actual cracked part being only about £500 worth !
the £95 'loctite' is just one line of the work of fiction they have sent to try justify the bill
Absiolute pee take ............. I wont be paying it

i dont expect them to run on fresh air but there are limits - £95 loctite firmly crosses it
They are fantastic tractor but if they don't get their shite together I wont be buying another

The psychology behind it is premium product = premium charges. Happens in all things. The assumption is that you want to pay.more

I can well believe that it is £95... but it altogether depends which variety of Loctite it is, I think they have 1900 different product lines, varying from cheapo nasty thread locker to some pretty clever aerospace technology type of stuff.
so they use an entire bottle then throw it away ? I doubt it and expect that 10 customers previously have all been charged for the same bottle of expensive Loctite ! There is also a funnel and spout on the bill so it seems like customers are expected to pay for their equipment as well ! wonder if the next bill will include the mechanics snap-on tools monthly account payment ? !
Whatever grade the loctite is doesn't work because the only reason the casting was cracked was due to studs on a shaft coming loose !
According to this page, there are a wide range of types of Loctite. Your £95 bill could have been much worse and this is only for 250ml
