Nothing going on but the rent !
« on: 24 January 2007, 16:41:42 »
Hi peeps !

Sorry no postings latley :'(

Megga is running as it should , and last posting explains how happy  ;D is was with the MOT .

Sooooooooooo twiddling me thumbs here looking for things to do ! ::)

Is there any beifit to giving the old girl a drink of redex !! Like i said runs ok, but wondered if redex actually did anything in a prevention kind of manner - like clean injectors !!!

Just wondering !  Might give the megga another oil change soon, as i am sooooooooooo bored ! LLOLL

You could always give it a taste of Shell Vmax or BP Optimate instead of the Redex.  Certainly makes my beastie drive better and, bonus is, that you have fun while cleaning out the injectors!    :y

Forte is recommended by some here...

Also, regular oil changes is never going to harm ;)

What about other simple stuff - coolant, brake fluid, fuel filter etc etc, any of those approaching 2 yrs old?

Let me know how that goes, and benefits ect.. considering treating the 2.2 to some of that because of my affair with the Senator  ::)

Agreed, this is one of the few times fleaBay is the place to go!

Be interesting to see what that stuff does, I doubt any has ever been put in mine. However since personal maintenance, breathers & oil ect... it has been running smoother. If i was working i would be tempted to try a couple of tanks of Optimax or something similar, since its the same price now as regular stuff was about a year ago.

Been on Redex for the past 8 years, this stuff is A1....

Since I started using BT Ultimate, I reduced the Redex to once every four tanks as opposed to every tankfull.

I suppose that other makes are also good (STP, Forte), some may be better, but between this and that some cleaning agent with the petrol is a must.

Incidentally, I recently had a couple of tankfulls of Texaco 97 (I think they call it an un-imaginative 'High Perfromance High Octane') since my local garage was out of BT Ultimate  >:(, and the car seems to drive better than with BT Ultimate... Probably just my imagination  :o
