Need some of this to clean my badly contaminated disc brakes.
All the websites I've been on, yes it's a reasonable price but they want to charge for P&P, making it expensive.
Anyone know where I can get it with free delivery ?
I've looked on a few websites but my connection is really slow on my PC.

eBay, just bung in isopropyl alcohol 1 litre (or however much you Want) sort by price inc p&p.
If it's your first bottle I'd get a 500ml with trigger, then just get the big bottles after to top up.

Edit - quick search cheapest 500ml with trigger £7 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Isopropyl-Alcohol-Isopropanol-99-9-ACS-Choose-Size-and-Cap-Adapter-/142131564801?var=&hash=item2117b39101:m:mWoCLUGZuSV6taNS3T0nIPg

I picked up 1l for £15 from maplin last week. Not cheap, but it lasts ages.

I bought a 5 litre bottle off amazon a few years back.. only really need probably 500ml.. should last me a lifetime assuming the top is airtight, it evaporates fast If Its pure, and buying in larger sizes is far cheaper than 500ml bottles relatively speaking.

I bought 5 litres off ebay a while back, it'll last me years. Maplin are stupendously expensive... But, the aerosol is pretty convenient

Aerosol one from Maplin, one can has lasted a couple of years so far.

Bulk may be cheaper but it will probably evaporate before I get chance to use it all.
