Went ahead and put some REDEX in the tank then added the 50litres of petrol to dilute it. After that I used the car for a 30 mile run which included steady 50mph stretches then near 1000' ascent over the hill road (with single track/passing places) before returning via same route. Was towing a trailer throughout so engine had a decent work-out. Later ran the car solo and the steady speed uneven running has eased greatly; the irritating engine speed increase after having applied throttle to climb hill followed by bringing the car to a halt has also cleared too. Didn't expect any of this so quickly. Maybe £6 well spent!

Picked up a form from the PO to get a replacement V5. Came to the conclusion I might be selling the Wokkamobile

as a step to save my marriage.

Robbie came down and did a full service on Beasty. New glow plugs, oil & filter, air filter and replaced the coolant. Also hooked his new code reader up and cleared the fault codes.
SHE'S NOW FINALLY OUT OF LIMP MODE...AND WHAT A FLYER SHE IS.

I bought this off another member of F.O.G. (Chris2405) for the princely sum of £40. Will be going on Chugga sometime soon. :wink:
