how much does this cost ? I see ebay adverts for £108 from mobile services for up to 2 litre engine size, just wondering what the cost may be for a 4.2 V8 |

£108 for a 4.2 ? Well, that sounds OK, but as I said, the mobile vans on ebay state max 2.0L so I assumed more expensive for larger engines. |

That 3.5 v6 engine isn't half bad for a Nissan lump and is fitted in some rather nice other vehicles |

OK, had the Terraclean done. Firstly, the guy at Queenshill Garage, Newport, Gwent was great. Explained the process and was very enthusiastic about the whole thing. Started engine, put my hand on exhaust outlet and told me to 'sniff' and smell the fuel. An hour and half later I returned in time for him to fire up the engine - and an atom bomb like cloud of black soot came out of both exhausts ! Then a quick sniff of the fumes - Clean ! At first, couldn't tell any difference in performance, but after a while, it's the little things you notice. Not have to touch the accelerator pedal too much on take off, smoother acceleration and smoother sounding engine. Not tested the MPG yet, but since there's less un-burnt fuel coming out of the exhausts, I'll assume it'll be an improvement. Very recommended procedure to get done. |
