The forum has cut one of these open to find out what it is. It consists of about four large washers in a plastic ball. It's junk, throw it away.

I've only just gone and bought one of these for 20 quid!
The chap gave quite a convincing series of tales and demonstrations I must say! A lot of gentle persuasion!
I've noticed absolutely no difference in performance/economy whatsoever!!

Suckers!
Here is the rule 'if it sounds to good to be true - it is'
Also, no matter what anyone tells you, you will not improve the power or mpg of an engine with differnt plugs or leads. The only improvement you'll see is the fact that you are replacing old knackered stuff with new stuff.

It would seem not. Disregard my post. I blame uni work.
