Dunno if it actually done the same job as Redex, but looked convincing!   As I said, young and daft....  

Possibly not Hotel21.....but i remember my Dad used to pour redex into the carb, with engine running, then take it for a drive....with me as passenger....he drove it gently till he turned onto the main road....then floored it.....smoke screen was impressive

You could top up your engine oil with that  

Years ago when young and daft we used to trickle old brake fluid doun the neck of the carbs with the filter removed.  Done the same job as Redex and created a cracking white smog behind the car when you revved it up.

Dunno if it actually done the same job as Redex, but looked convincing!   As I said, young and daft....  

Would that smog not be highly toxic?  

 Probably, but made a point of staying upwind!!

I must stress at this point while Mark is fixing all the wrongs of my ex car, that I maintaned a full service history on it until mid way through last year when I had decided it was time to replace, even then it still went in for new crank sensor, rear discs and pads all round, Oh yes, and renewing the brake fluid on account of it being hygroscopic!  My problem is that I wouldn't know what colour or viscosity it is meant to be (not until now that is!)

Surely not. We know how wonderful dealers are, esp those scumbag cowboys in MK
