So did I. My Dad used to say that Mr Castrol made is money out of all the grease left on screwdrivers, spoons and bits of cardboard.

Dad bought a double ended tin of valve grinding paste in the early 1960s when he owned and operated a Bedford O type lorry. I still have it in my garage and at the rate of usage, it's probably going to last until long after the oil has run out and cars are no more! (Used on around 15 engines in 40 years).

Is it a red lid at one end and a green lid at the other?

No. It's blue all over with a red and white label. Coarse at one end and fine at the the other. I have used it on a Peugeot 104 1124cc, my old Volvo 245DL 2128cc and my wifes old Corsa 1100cc. No Rovers though!

Its just something that I had for years in my garage and only binned it when I moved a few years ago. I also found 3 valve grinding sticks to go with it! :lol:
