RedEx

[ChrisJ]

Good morning to you all,

 

Car has been sat a fair while, since May actually and is out of MOT. She will be getting booked in in next couple of weeks (need to sort battery and tyres first). I'm curious to know whether I should run something through like RedEx since she's been sitting it might clear her out a bit. Worth it? I've seen no performance issues. 

Is RedEx ok to use on the 3.0 Petrol?

 

Thanks in advance.

Not sure about the Redex, but I'd be tempted to give her a mini service if she hasn't had recent Oil, or at the very least check your Oil level and condition and knock any dust and cobwebs out of the airfilter! You probably know this but let her start and run gently without revs to give the a chance to warm up and the Oil to start circulating. I wince when I see some car shows (Wheeler Dealers included), they jump start something that's sat for awhile, then immediately get on the throttle potentially causing engine wear and damage! 

Good luck

Its not just on wheeler-dealers, take a look down your street on a morn and see the same thing! Yeah I always let a car run for a few minutes get the juices flowing! 

Yeah I'll give her a mini service just before MOT.
