I do mate, and I think it works but its not instant. I notice the car pulls stronger now after 2 tanks of petrol and 1 full bottle of redex.

Also makes white smoke when cold but goes away after 3rd tank is put in . Smells dieselly at the back end lol.

Right in went the Redex, I drove 3 miles parked up then had a few troubles starting, I then drove 160 miles with no trouble.I have done about 80 miles today with a lot of stalls??
Redex recommend 1 bottle for 4 full tanks of the dear stuff ,I will be doing as they say as I have heard it is good stuff , I just feel a right arse when I keep stalling!
Will let you know the results(if any) when the bottle has been drunk.
WHERES THE SPALL Chuk GOON??

i find the new redex real thinned down, the old stuff was like proper oily, the new stuff is like water in comparison, just an observation! put the old stuff down your carbs and then you knew what white smoke was!

yeah and had to hand rev it or it would choke on it lol.

Do a tank top-up with another £10 or £20 if it'll fit as that will meter it down a bit.

The only downside is it wont clean the throttle body  :cry: obviously as the fuel is sprayed into the cylinder directly.

Always looked at redex but never done it. Fear of the unknown. Maybe give it a bash on my week off when I can thrash my car about.

I read an article in a custom mag years ago where they tested wynns injector magic, and it gave bhp results on the dyno and it worked.

The car was an opel manta, they dyno'd it first and it had lost some horses from new spec, ran I.M. through it for 100 miles and retested it, the horses were back!
