Hi everyone, I have a question. I often hear about adding acetone and/or turpentine into diesel fuel in specific amounts to clean the injectors. Since there are some very knowledgeable people on this forum, I wanted to know what you think about them and if so in what quantities is it possible...

Hi everyone, I have a problem with my 2006 Land Rover Defender Td5. About a year ago I had an injector failure (on the 5, at the electrical part) which I replaced with one sold used but working (now on the 3) the cause probably due to dirt because I found the diesel filter full. With the...

Hi, I have created a system to filter diesel fuel that has been stored for quite some time before using it. I wanted to add a decanter filter. I saw that on Amazon/eBay there are basically two types: the DELPHI HDF296 or the R12T. Could you tell me what is the difference between the two...

Hi everyone, I would like to share with you this thought of mine.... Life is beautiful because you don't grow progressively; life is beautiful because you change and your ideas change. It changes your approach to life. I am 35 years old, and the other day I stopped to think. When I was a...

Hi everyone, you are always well prepared for my curious questions. I have about 1000 liters of diesel which has been stored in plastic canisters for about a year. (it was supposed to be used in an emergency but then it was never used). It's automotive diesel, so it's perfectly legal to use it...

Hi guys, when I have any doubts about the oil I ask here and I'm more sure. My brother recovered a PIAGGIO VESPA PK 125 S AUTOMATICA. Unfortunately, he does not have the workshop manual and he asked me for help to change the oil on the final drive (the one on the side of the rear wheel). I...

Hi everyone, I'm writing from Italy. I would like to do some maintenance on my father's 2008 Mini Cooper S R56. Over the years it has only changed the oil, filter and brake fluid. I think it is time to replace the coolant after 13 years also because my dad has recently topped up with a...

Hi everyone, I am writing from Italy. I would like to do some maintenance to my dad's 2008 R56 Mini Cooper S. Over the years it has only changed the oil and filter as well as the brake fluid. I was wondering if it was time to replace the manual gearbox oil. It has no problem but I think it may...
