Feck!!! I think I need a full refill, but for 100k miles I suppose that's quite cheap compared to Redex at £8 per bottle per fuel refill

I think it's taken a jump in price recently, those prices are inc VAT by the way & they come with the filling kit.

. I'm looking at the 1623961480 that's suitable for my car. Does this sound to good to be true or are the numbers they quote accurate? Thx in advance.

Check sellers feedback, 3L at that price sounds ok ive paid 37 for 2l last year that was so might be more this year , if it a refill kit too looks a deal, if your not sure just send the seller your car vin or reg number .

DPF additive arrived today, that's my plan sorted for the weekend in 40degree heat. Still waiting on the stickers, there'll probably arrive in cold weather knowing my luck.

Okay, additive added, easiest job ever, didn't even need to jack the car up. But can someone tell me what this actually does and can it break. Please note lovely clean floor, I did my homework

Is that the one with the 'Lion' badge who have recently nicked the ford Mustang tail lights and fitted to their own cars?
