hi just a curious question i was in halfords today and was looking at petrol additives..like redex which apparantly cleans thru your engine from the muck if you know what i mean...would you say its worth giving it whack just out of sheer randomness lol?

Don't put it anywhere near your Mini if it has a cat fitted because it will kill it and as you have a 1275i (according to your profile), then you'd better check.

Can't you get redex for newer cars with a cat fitted then? Taffy what would it do to an injection engine eg what would the symptoms be? (sorry to hijack!)

Well surely it could bugger up the cat? Much like if you used leaded fuel I'd say?

But it must be designed to be cat friendly?

It must be true, I read it on the Internet!

Is it wrong that I'm a bit annoyed that the title is moaning about bad use of English and they've put "Something thats doing my head in"...?

linky doesn't work!
but been googling and found this
Redex for injection engines
also found redex for carbs and also for diesel. I think it's ok for your engine then? Was worried because I got told to use some when I first got my mini because it hadn't really been driven for a couple of years. Not sure what it did, if anything? Could be cherryade for all I know !
