Does anybody know where I can get the following items?
Plastic petrol container, two stroke oil, chainsaw blade oil.
Have tried Meastro Maco with out any success.

Im sure Maxmat could oblige - otherwise many a local drogaria has such exocita.

Maxmat has all three but I suspect your local filling station will too. They certainly have two stroke oil, often have 5 litre fuel cans for motorists who run out of petrol and I suspect most people in Portugal use engine oil in the chain reservoir (Usually after it has done a good few thousand K in their trucks first)

If you go behind Mestro Macko and follow the little road you will come a very small industrial area with a garden machinery warehouse the name of which escapes me.
all well known strimmers/chainsaws and the gubbins to accompany them can be found inside.
Hope this helps?

Thanks to everybody for their advice! I will be off to investigate all these tips tomorrow.

Hey Homme Poco!
I've been looking for you.

Nothing to do with Chain saws or hedge trimmers. I saw on your CV that you are a retired builder. Well, if you have the time, go to the forum for "The House on the Hill" and see what I'm on about. My question to you is this,

"On your next walk-about, could you make it up that hill on the west side of CVO? Throw your eye over the ruined and abandoned house there and let me know what you think of it. Potential and cost of restoring, ect?"

Hello Dalcassion,
I am retired now! I only mess about with my own jobs, besides, pricing is entirely different here in Portugal. I am certainly not able to give you an idea of Portuguese costs, but good luck with the project!

Thanks felix!
I followed your advice and visited the small industrial estate behind Mestro maco. The place is called "Sanipina". Just one small point, for anyone else wishing to visit the shop, you cannot pay with a British credit card, it had to be a Portuguese bank card.
Thanks again,
Trevor.
