1) If your RR of that year was produced for the UK market it won't have a 'Diesel Particulate Filter'.

If I can get FC spec at that price I'd buy a dozen and use it but cannot find it at my local. Even Tesco online tells me its not available.

It's never been in store EY, just in the garages amongst the oils. The first two I got (they only had two) I assumed the price was wrong, but when she rang it up it was right. Then, I got some more (all they had at time) from Ipswich. I will keep an eye out if they still have it for that price next time I'm in a tesco garage. |

Your VIN will confirm model etc. I am sure there will be a "wise one" on the RRS site who can confirm. 10MY (Sept 09) TD4 HSE Auto in Stornoway Grey (Now Gone)

I have been putting in 2-stroke oil at a ratio of 300ml per 60 litres for the last 3 tankfulls. Thus far, it is difficult to know if there is any significant change. Yes, the engine seems quieter, yes it pulls well, but it is only a matter of degree. Economy has started to improve lately, largely brought about by my driving pattern having changed over the Christmas break, with higher average speeds/motorway driving where I normally do rural/city driving. Only time will tell. I keep totally accurate fuel consumption records on spritmonitor.de (see my sig below), not relying on the OBC figures which can vary in accuracy. 10MY (Sept 09) TD4 HSE Auto in Stornoway Grey (Now Gone)
