Where's the best place to buy this stuff. I don't recall seeing it in the
usual suspect shops like Halfrauds etc.

Some independent car accessory shops stock it. Mine certainly does. It 
ain't cheap but it is the best IMHO.

I have some seriously rusty track rod ends that need to be replaced to get
the tracking done.  That's why I'm looking for it, heard it's the mutts
nuts.

McConechy's HiQ broke off the pinch bolt for one of them and didn't tell
me.  Simply came out and said it needed a new track rod end.  I thought it
was the usual , let's make another sale out of gullible twat.  Car
MOT'd that week!

Took it to National who showed me what they had done. Wankers.

Bought a can from 'frauds in Bracknell a few months ago. Was near the 
WD40 and other similar sprays.

PlusGas might be considered the best, but IME no penetrating oil lives up to
the claims. Any benefit is marginal at best. It certainly wont penetrate
heavily rusted threads etc. The Consumer Association, 'Which' carried out
some tests some years ago and came to the same conclusion.
I find a pair of Stillsons usually shifts rusted track rod ends. Failing
that heat the thread portion with a gas blowtorch. An Oxy-Acetylene torch is
better, but I assume you haven't that choice. :-)
