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  ::)

Awwwwwwwww Tunnie you old softy you !

In love with the Senator, and neglecting the Meega ! :-/

Do you think the Meega will forgive you if you give it a drink of Forte !

Still better than being hitched, i dont think me Missus would appriciate any Forte !

Will let you know of any miricle results mate, but have to find the stuff first

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



Alas, no more Omegas....
