not really sure why, but everyone seems to have mixed results with that, myself i didnt really like it and i know of a few others who thought it was crap aswell, but theres also tons of other people who swear by it
the Auto Glym one is over priced, get Auto Sol from Halfords, its £1 cheaper and you get more, its bloody wicked stuff
i recently bought Peek but the liquid form and thats nowhere near as good as Auto Sol
well, previously i would have said a 10W-50 or 15W-50, but based on what ive been reading im not gonna say those, although they would run perfectly fine on any 16v car
my advice now would be to go for a fully synthetic with as small a heat range as possible, probably a 5W-40, which will still...

thats really strange, maybe it was because that particular oil has a very wide heat range, 5W-50 is quite a difference, and the oil must contain a large amount of additives to make it have both 5W cold rating properties and 50 hot rating properties, so maybe the oil just wasnt up to scratch...
Dazz i was only trying to help Paul out, and i posted as he kind of mentioned because he thought he might get banned for posting something like this, i disagreed but he still thought he might so i posted on his behalf

i get about 280 miles to a full tank, and im chipped

you can get Terra springs from Euro Car Parts for about £40, these are very good quality and used in some Bilstein kits
usually retail for £70+ like Eibach springs do
maybe one of your dampers is shagged, have it checked
one of mine turned out to be and i only knew about it when i had a new kit fitted, it was proper shagged
with regards to tappets, they all seem to be noisy at start up, as long as it disappears in a minute or so then its fine

Ben, the 16v came out in 91/92 yea......how long have fully synthetic oils been out ?....did they exist when the 16v was developed ?.....reason i mention this is have you ever seen a 0W or 5W semi synthetic ?......it doesnt exist afaik......the lowest cold rating you can get in a semi is 10W...
how would an oil react with another ?
could you share your knowledge on that matter with me as ive never heard anythin about stuff like that in all the stuff ive read an im interested....
ive always read on every oil ive looked at (literally hundreds hehe) that they will fix perfectly fine...
