For hard use I would look at a good 5w-40 synthetic for the engine, plenty to choose from but Motul and Silkolene are my favorites for performance.
For the gearbox, a good semi synthetic or full synthetic 75w-90.
Cheers
Guy.

Hi,
A 10w-40 semi synthetic wioth regular changes is ideal.
Brand wise, Fuchs, Motul and Silkolene.
Cheers
Guy.

10w-40 semi synthetic with regular changes is fine, if you really want to treat it then 5w-40 synthetic changed every 8000 miles or once a year, which ever comes first.
Cheers
Guy.

What would you recomend for a ....
1998 saxo vts 90,000 on the clock. Fitted with newmans ph3 cams and new followers. Plus the usual mods like 4-2-1 manfiold, exhaust system enclosed filter.
Drive it quite hard every now and then on the road about not much motorway driving.

75w-90 is fine and the Motul gear 300 is a goodun.
For the engine the Fuchs 5w-40 is good stuff. The next step up is to an ester based synthetic, like the Motul 300v or the Silkolene Pro S.
Cheers
Guy.
