might as well service it redex made such a big difference - whats the best type of oil to use in a 1.1 engine, dont mind paying a bit but no sense spending for sake of it just something half decent. also i guess will do oil filter , fuel filter (its behind one of the wheels isnt it?) , plugs - are they easy to change? oh and probably throw a k and n replacement filter in (they say lifetime warranty ) anything else worth doing bearing in mind level of expertise about 1

i found that Redex only worked well when it was in the petrol....the best alternative is STP fuel injector cleaner, its like redex but much more stronger

I use Redex once every 3 months, I really does make a difference, the new lables say to use it every time you fill up.
