Hi All, My trusty 140 is on 191,000 miles now and hasn’t let me down once. I’m going to service it pretty soon and I was thinking about having a Terraclean service done at the same time. Has anyone here had it done & does it work/placebo effect? I’ve seen mixed opinions about it on them internets. A friend of mine has suggested that getting rid of ‘helpful’ gunk could be detrimental. To be fair, most of the write ups I’ve read are for ‘western’ engines, particularly Vauxhall ones, which let’s face it, are truly rubbish (I’m a seasoned former Vauxhall owner). Cheers, Sher

I'm gonna have a play with the idea this weekend and let you know how (or if) it works. I'll try it off the standard lighter first to try it, saves faffing about with the dashboard if it doesn't work :-)

Cheers for clearing that up for me DannyScene. My commute is about 1.5 hours each way. I thought more recent phones stopped receiving charge once done.

Afternoon All, I don't know if anyone's covered this already but I thought of a way to set up inexpensive vehicle tracking. My thinking is this: My spare Android phone, with a phone finder/tracking app, mounted somewhere behind the dash. I have a spur from the cigar(ette) lighter already soldered in so I can just link a car charger to it. I use the car daily so the phone would very rarely run out of charge. All I'd need on top of that is a PAYG SIM card with enough credit/data to let me access the phone/software if required. What do you think, is this doable? Cheers, Sherington
