Vauxhall told me they took a fuel sample to be analysed for anything been added (Petrol, Additives, Dirt) I think they was looking for some petrol in my diesel car that was misfiring and cutting out at motorway speeds. And couldn't find anything wrong on the computer.

I mentioned this idea to my local dealer this morning while there on another issue.

Wildrover, sorry having to say that, but putting this question to your LR-dealer was not very wise. What do you expect him to say. He has to go according to rules and regulations, and we all know how much non-sense some rules and regulation represent in practical and/or logical terms.

I've just tried this and added closer to 0.5 ltr (then 0.33 ltr) of shell 2 stroke oil to a full tank of diesel (the oil can slipped ![]() Maybe I'm hearing things - but the engine did sound quieter - much, much less "rattle". Anyone else tried YF's advice and added 2 stroke oil ? |

Can someone please explain if adding 2 stroke oil has so many (proven ?) benefits why LR and other manufacturers don`t recommend doing it |

If they did, it would mean that they admit their engines - or at least their sophisticated diesel injection pumps - are not adapted to the modern diesel fuel. That wouldn't be in their own interest, would it ? |

You may all know that Mercedes Benz have conducted in 2007 a long distance reliability test with a number of Mercedes E-Class 320 cdi from Paris to Beijing. Due to the fact that the diesel quality in East European Countries, Russia and China does not meet the DIN requirements, and Mercedes did not want to take the risk of their engines to flopp due to lousy fuel, the total tour has been accompanied by diesel tanks to re-fuel the E-Class cdi's. Selected members of the Mercedes clientele could apply to participate in selected parts of this test-tour, and advocats and notaries had to certify the correctness of this long term reliability test.
