ONE FOR THE ROAD Just for you xxxx Back in 1980 a good friend purchased a Wolsley 6-110 with a large 6 cylinder engine . And taking to him one day ,he told me it was missing on cylinder 5 . He had done everything he could think of . He said to-day i am going to give it the REDX treatment .I said yes it is good ,, i know use it myself . I said ,,so your going to remove all the spark plugs , he said yes, and then pour in an egg cup full of RedX in to each cylinder ,then i will let it sit in there over night . . The plan was exicuted i recon because the next day i saw this smoke, it filled the street from top tp bottom . I never saw him that day to talk too .But then when i did see him,, he told me that he had done the same thing 2x more . But after the treatment, , it had made no differance . And said he was going to remove the head , and would i help him . So after taking the engine apart to get the head off, this was a major task but we did it . The story of these 3 litre engines was - at the end of the war , they ended up in saloon cars surplus to the army . And as, the army had thousands of these lorry engines left over they eventually had them all sent back to Austin at Lonbridge who made the Wolsley and Westminster type of large saloons and fitted them i to the new cars . So now the head was off . It was the cleanest head i had ever seen ,,not a speck of carbon in sight . You would think it had just been made ...The mileage reading was 200,000 on this car and it was 20 years old . And then we found the reason why it was missing on cylinder 5 the head gasket that seperated 5 and 6 cylinder was missing . And compresion from number 6 was getting in to number 5 cylinder . So RED X for ever ha ha ..

One For the road Well i did tell you .But a bit of history as well --not many knew that .

Is this Redex octane booster we are talking about?
So surely it will help with octane as well as clean engine.
My Ignis Sport says in the petrol cap to run on minimum of octane98. I normally use V-Power but when I was in Skye, superunleaded was hard to come by so I used Redex with normal unleaded.

No leef44 but as the post reads it is just for cleaning the engine only .
