Still nowt - although I bought one half of a set of six spoke wheels, unfortunately I won the rear and lost out on the front :redface :redface :redface
I'm so unlucky that if there is such a thing as re-incarnation I'll come back as me!

Cheers jamoi :thumbup:
I glad it's not just me then. After seeing all the soot I then decided to remove the inlet manifold and give that a good decoke too.
She runs better than new now and I'm getting and extra ten to the gallon :D

That's a big improvement Pete, congrats :thumbup:

EGRs are nothing but trouble. But then again ad blue is no better either. Stick to the old stuff. Its far easier to work with/on :thumbup:

Watty,
Ive seen that mod suggested on a number of sites but not really considered it as there's a lot of baldrocks posted these days and everything is the best since sliced bread :wink:
Have you found any difference in how the car runs? Is it really worth trying?
I've plenty of tin plate in the garage and could cut a blanking plate up in five minutes but I didn't know if there would be any ill effects.
