Always good to see, another year MOT. 154,095 miles 2003 VVTI  Only advisory was "difficult to pass emissions test", I suspect possibly because I do few miles and most of those are short journeys. Any advice chaps? Redex from Aldi or is there perhaps some other concoction recommended to give her tubes a bit of a cleaning? |

Useless in a diesel  This week's Aldi offer is for the petrol and diesel variants of Redex engine/fuel system cleaner. As an aside, my 2008 D-4D is getting better at the emmissions test as it gets older ( for the last 3 years anyway ) The guy at the test station was not supprised, he's seen it before, but he had no explanation as to why it's happening ( I didn't suggest that it was his machine as I didn't want to upset him! ) |

Mine passed today as well. Will probably be my last one with it. Not quite 68k on it , couple of advisories. Had it from new but time to spend some money.
