New Fri 26 Apr 13 10:59   Redex at Tesco - reduced - BobbyG

For anyone who indulges in redex engine cleaners, Tesco have bottles of Redex for petrol and for diesel, reduced from £4 to £2 . Each bottles does two tank fulls (50 litres per tank)

New Fri 26 Apr 13 11:43   Redex at Tesco - reduced - Robin O'Reliant

Does it actually do anything? Genuine question, none of the additives I've put in petrol and diesel in the past made the slightest difference.

New Fri 26 Apr 13 12:18   Redex at Tesco - reduced - Meldrew

ISTR that Redex was previously billed as an Upper Cylinder Lubricant, valve gear etc. On that basis there is no way of knowing whether it is doing any good or not, really

New Fri 26 Apr 13 12:27   Redex at Tesco - reduced - WillDeBeest

Ah, but it forestalls expensive engine repairs in years to come, doesn't it? Have to say, after ten years and 130,000 Redex-free miles, I'm still waiting, but you can't be too careful. Let's see, 200 tankfuls at £2 a tank - that's £400 in my rainy day fund and not in the snakeman's oily pockets.

New Fri 26 Apr 13 12:34   Redex at Tesco - reduced - Old Navy

I have proved, to myself, which is all that matters, that Millers diesel additive can cure a smokey engine (dirty injectors?).

New Fri 26 Apr 13 12:38   Redex at Tesco - reduced - Runfer D'Hills

My dad always used to ask for "Four shots and four" ( gallons ) at our local attended Esso station. Used to get change out of a quid which he always refused and gave the guy as a tip. I never really did know what the "shots" were but they were squirted into the petrol tank ahead of the fuel.

New Fri 26 Apr 13 12:47   Redex at Tesco - reduced - Slidingpillar

An oil company chemist I know a bit as good as says Redex is snake oil/the work of satan. There is a place for upper cylinder lubricants though, and my vintage car (and quite a few other peoples ones too) gets a spot of two stroke oil in the petrol. That principle does have the chemist approval.

>> I have proved, to myself, which is all that matters, that Millers diesel additive can >> cure a smokey engine Seconded. My diesel Scorpio, the one with the VM boat engine also used in Range Rovers, would get quite smokey. A couple of tanks with Millers would clean it up a lot, which I always did before the MoT. >>(dirty injectors?). I put it down to that too, as did a petroleum chemist friend.

New Tue 4 Jun 13 15:57   Redex at Tesco - reduced - TeeCee

One thing that Redex does well is help with recommissioning an old engine in which the rings have seized to the bores through disuse. A good shot of Redex down each plug hole and leaving overnight often does the trick, allowing a bit of brute applied at the crank pulley bolt to turn the thing over the following day.

New Wed 27 Nov 13 08:38   Redex at Tesco - reduced - Meldrew

A quadruple dose of Millers may have saved my diesel engine when I put about 10 lites of petrol in and then topped off with diesel plus Millers. Still running well after 70K miles but no way of knowing if it is cause or effect

I've got some tools from Halfords. No problems with them for the money. Plenty good enough for DIY, home servicing of the car etc.

New Tue 7 May 13 17:03   Halfords Tools - sherlock47

Once upon a time they used to offer a lifetime guarantee on the professional range - not sure if still applies. The problem is as always finding the receipt! All the pro range that I have had are good quality - the only time I have invoked the guarantee was a 17mm 1/2 socket that could not stand the torque of a 3' length of scaffold pole.

New Tue 7 May 13 17:13   Halfords Tools - Robin O'Reliant

I can't remember the last time I went into Halfords when their professional range wasn't half price.

New Tue 7 May 13 21:29   Halfords Tools - Number_Cruncher

>>I'm doing more and more work on my own cars and could probably do with building up my tool kit Buying a set like the Halfords one is a really good start. Then, if you find that a socket breaks, replace it with a better quality one. Typically you'll only apply massive loads to one or two sizes (17 and 19 being favourites), and it's not worth buying tip-top quality in every size unless you're using them everyday in your job.       1

Sort of tempting, but it's one of those things I've never found myself going "if only I had....". If access is restricted enough to require the articulation, it's usually restricted enough to preclude the use of anything that long. Where access is good, sliding the trolley jack handle onto the tommy bar does the job and costs nothing.

New Mon 23 Sep 13 08:23   Cost Effective Way of getting €s - Meldrew

I went to Germany last week and needed €s cash. I looked on line and Travelex were giving 1.16 for £1, booked on line for collection at Folkestone. When I got there they were offering the "walk-in" customer €1.06 for £1 and offering to give £1 for €1.36, a very greedy spread of rates IMO! Anyway, I merely used my debit card (fee free from Santander) and got €1.19 for a £ both at an ATM and for a purchase at a Calais wine warehouse. This seems to to suggest to me that, subject to the T&Cs of one's individual debit/credit card this is the way to go. The following cards have no charges made by the issuer, Halifax, Post Office and Santander Zero. There may be others of course Last edited by: Meldrew on Mon 23 Sep 13 at 08:24

I don't like a heavy duvet either. I can't sleep if my feet aren't hanging out. I like a bit of air round my feet. Last edited by: VxFan on Sat 30 Nov 13 at 21:06

I hate duvets. They are far too warm. With blankets you can always chuck one off, or half off. Last edited by: VxFan on Sat 30 Nov 13 at 21:06

In Spain we used to run our bedroom aircon. at 22C to make it cool enough to sleep. Here we run our central heating at 22C to make it warm enough to sit in the lounge.

Cheaper at Halfords - tinyurl.com/nrjz8nu Personally though, I would spend a similar amount on a set of traditional jump leads## rather than sitting there waiting for one car to charge the battery of another. ## eg tinyurl.com/odlsrbo - link to Amazon.       1
