    Do these work, seems cheap, maybe worth a go ?

    Saw these on eBay, no use to me as I'm on diesel but wondered if they could be of use to anyone else ?

    Don't seem very expensive so you can't lose a lot. No association etc.

    Regards

    I'll think you'll find that it is a resistor that changes the MAF reading to get the engine to run lean. Running lean is thought to be one of causes the V8 block to crack and have slipped liners.

    SAVE UP TO 25 MPG IMMEDIATELY!


    Boy! Saving 25 mpg - that's an impressive saving! So does that make the Disco give 50mpg?


    However, if it gives more power as claimed, it might make it run rich.

    Would I try it? No way.

    well, i think the seller is a pud puller.
    ah, the 'save twenty five mpg' is just that.
    ie: it might save you 'up to' 25 miles per gallon, 'if you have a postie bike' not make the fuel consumption reduce by 25 miles per gallon.
    so if you get 16 mpg now from your disco, nothing changes - just you have $20 less to put in the tank, or spend on beer.

    Nothing but a dangers gimmick just to cash in who cares if your car stuffs up later becuase there long gone or they have used false details.

    Try this it might not save as much but it has other benifits and has been proven to work 100% and has been on TV awhile back I have one of these on my small car and I noticed less oil changes as the oil is staying cleaner for longer better idle and a small increase in power i will be getting one for my landy soon.

    Actually it was proven ineffective.... But was the only one who offered their product up for public scrutiny...

    You'd get better results shoving a tank of premium through the engine every 2-3 tanks.

    You, my dear sir, are a victim of the placebo effect

    You sir might want to back that claim up as I have never read anything claiming the fitch did not work at all. All my cars run on premium since brought years back and the one I have the fitch in does better then the rest.
