vmx 80 works well pretty sure made by castrol.
you could also use an additive.
wont take much couple of litres id say.

Vmx80 is a Castrol product, but most brand's will have a straight 80w, how noisy are you talking Joe???

SCA usually stock Lucas products.. Similar stuff, different brand.
I've got a small tube of Nulon gear and diff treatment. It worked really well in my commo when I had it.
