Casual trip down to halfords.

On a different note, anyone tried fuel injector cleaner? Worth it? Spent £15 on the stuff today, see if I notice a difference.

 

[bloke]

chances are the only thing you'll notice is you've got £15.00 less in your wallet

Faster car because lighter? = Fuel injector cleaner worked as car faster?

 

[Typhoon]

True point Ethan. That £15 was weighing me down. Now it's gone, I've got an extra 5bhp.

 

[Dan@SJM]

Placebo.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Depends if your fuel injectors are dirty or not?

If they arent, then it definately wont work, goes without saying.
If they are, then it probably wont work, just send them off for ultrasonic cleaning instead is a FAR better bet.

Placebo.

The band?

 

[Dan@SJM]

The band?

They sang about you once didn't they?

Not that I'm aware of, but I'm sure you'll tell me....

Nancy boy.

Surely that was Danny_172 they were singing about?

 

[Dan@SJM]

No. That was bulletproof Cupid.

Or blind.

 

[Paprika123]

Nancy boy.

FLOL.

 

[Munson]

Who gives a s**t? You own a Nimbus 197 and therefore you are an automatic hero.

Wrong.



Also I never realised how tiny a normal Clio is in relation to 197.

Best thing to clean shizzle with is petrol... so why should injectors need cleaning? It's 100% placebo BS that scams peeps galore unfortunately.

Get 2 mucky pieces of engine-ware and clean one with petrol and one with injector cleaner. So so similar.

Just pay £15 on a new fuel filter, take out the pick up neck - clean it out, syphon out the old fuel (do all this on a really low tank) and replae with 99+ Ron fuel. Then go and give it some 5-6k beans for 20-30 mins. That'll clear her out along with an oil change and air filter.

Same here mate - especially not that drastic amount of difference in size! I thought just wider to be honest, but it looks massive comparing the two side by side!

Haha, suppose I'm now a statistic who fell for it!!

 

[GiT]

I used to years back back... Big time. 4 or 5 bottles once and thought My 60 bhp Metro was a 100bhp weapon lol.

Doh.

 

[Typhoon]

Hah! Metros are proper beasts though - surely you didn't need the cleaner!
