Over on the Accord forums, we've established a really good relationship with Lubetech - we get 25l mini drums of 0w/30 fully synthetic delivered for around £90.  I know they also do VW approved PD oils etc so worth checking them out.  Point of contact is Tony.

VWSpare are brilliant, they had a branch locally which shut down, but I used them loads when I had my polo for parts etc and cannot fault them at all. I know they still have a branch in croydon.
