    Hello all, I watched the Top Gear tuning feature on Sunday, and this coupled with posted rolling road results has got me thinking about BHP loss as cars age. What sort of things could/should be done to a car to restore its original power output? Any ideas welcome ta

    Car needed new plugs and leads, took it out last night for a spanking, in the name of scientific analysis, and it's now running better than ever! Many thanks. Samson, you're right! Poor maintenance regime I'm afraid. I'll be keeping a closer check on levels from now on.

    Thanks for that. I've had a quick look at the crankhouse breather and it seemed pretty gunged up with old oil deposits and also had a fair bit of new fresh seepage i.e some of the 5l transfusion from yesterday I assume. Do you think a simple clean of the breather pipe will be worth it or am i looking at a more drastic solution? Ta in advance Callam

    Hi folks. Engine started juddering below 2000rpm yesterday. This coincided with an acute oil shortage which was rectified today (5l synta silver). The judder is still there. Above 2k everything seems fine. The car feels rough at idle and judders in any gear below 2k although more pronounced in higher gears. Any ideas are greatfully received
