Try it and see, I was sceptical but it has improved performance, mpg, reduced smoke and raised mpg by a few miles. I have also used it in a Mercedes Sprinter van that was smoking and it has reduced that dramatically. Very Happy

So what exactly are you doing?

I go to my local Mower guy and buy a one shot Stihl 2 stroke bottle which I add to 5 litres of petrol. Do you just add one of those to a full tank??

Surely you add it before filling up, so it mixed in Confused

Would the slight red tinge also get looked at if your stopped? I know the red diesels dyed but to the eye the diesel will look red... I presume , so until they test you could be in for avoiding duty, Idea

Overfinch - nice motor..

Your car looks very good - which engine does it have?

- I tried to buy Overfinch as a Company; in Nov/Dec but a good Buyer came in straight awat from Motor Trade, that proved to be Kahn in London.

I made enquiries as have Farm, in Wiltshire - but live mostly in Nort East (and London) presently..

Had the Accounts from OverFinch - but buyer came in within 3 weeks and bought the concern, in Fanham with 18 good employees. Called the Admiistarators, and Johnny Diamond (a star of Accounting?) and the Co was gone.

Thinking of upgrading my RR - but has been a good Car; as you say in Winter. My write up of drive from Keswick to Bemish on othe pages here, website reads quite well. Even if I say so myself...

Nice Vehicle tho'....

you are telling me that if you add a shot of redex or STP diesel cleaner ( same one that land rover use ) that it will void your warranty ! Razz and you think Land Rover would test the fuel to get out of a warranty claim when they have loads of other things on our cars that they now are faults and cannot even solve those Twisted Evil 2014 5.0SC AB

Gone 5.0 SC

If a manufacturer tests for fuel additives which they do, ie if your vehicle has gone in for lets say a failed piston/valves etc or any other fuel related item they have been known to void the warranty claim due to fuel additives, i'm sure ive also read it either in the manual or the warranty booklet. A lot of high performance car owners use octain booster and this is another culpret that has been known to void engines warranties that have gone bang
