Wynns carb cleaner from halfrauds is best.... (also called injector cleaner)
Its about £4.50 a tin retal, you get a big difference with trade, brings it down to around £2 a tin.
and guess who has a trade card ;) :D
-
is that a halfrauds trade card ?
-
I got mine from halfrauds, it was labled carb / injector cleanor. did the job.
dont know if that helps
-
is that a halfrauds trade card ?
Yup :y
-
how do you get hold of one of them then :question

Do you have a Vx trade card or autobahn stormers card?
get a "trade" invoice (normal invoice) from a Vaux Stealer... this you can show as "proof" that your in the trade.
make sure it puts a company name in the invoice.... at a guess even if its "autobahn stomers" some spotty 16yr old punk, in halfrauds won't know the difference ;) ;D
-
thanks :y :y

Yup, I use Wynns Carb and Injector intake cleaner, £2.79 at Halfrauds with Trade card.
-
wicked the VX numptys put me down as autobahn stormers and then my name on the invoice on 2 separate occasions might have to take a trip to halfords.
as for carb clean i have just brought some from VX. under £4 ill let you know how it goes

If you want you can sometimes "bulk buy" cheaply on fleabay .. I got 8 x 500 ml cans for £15 inc postage a few months back.
Nothing obvious/cheap at the moment but this could be a possibilty ... works out at less than £3 a can ....

that autocare stuff is less effective. And only around £2 from my local factors...
-
ive tried different brands but im convinced that wynns is better than the others.
-
I.ve got a trade card from AB and some invoices from VX with A B motors on them so i'll give it a try at Halfrauds.
