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

ok thanks mate , look forward to the pics , no problem just was in a bit of a rush to get them for xmas to go with my other additions for the car lol  , if it is just the clips so you wouldnt be able to see any difference once bonded on then il certainly still take them , can you cancel the refund as its stilll pending or il just send money again.

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.
