    Let us know how you go with that 2T oil!

    Poor workmanship by the secondhand car dealers preferred workshop which was done under used car warranty.

    Bascially the top end of the engine was taken apart and put back together several times and each time they got the timing wrong which caused valve v piston situations to occur.

    On the third pull down I said I don't want the car back with that engine in it. To his credit the workshop owner at his own expence bought a new long engine and fitted it.

    If you threw it on a dyno it will also be down on power a little...

    I wonder when it comes to soot how running low ash 2-stroke oil at a ratio of 200:1 in a high comp fuel injected turbo diesel compares to running a carburetted naturally aspirated 2-stroke street bike at 25:1?

    Actually I'm not sure how the two can really be compared.

    If you guys look on the DISCO3.CO.UK forum,there are heaps of posts on putting 2 stroke in with the diesel.

    Some say it's great,others notice nothing.......

    I asked my father in law about adding two stroke. He is a retired diesel engineer/mechanic.
    They used to run two stroke in stationary motors to make them run quieter and last longer, so I can't see why it wouldn't have the same benefit for a modern day diesel.
    My only query is that is it necessary to put in every tank, or just every now and then?

    Also, the ratio of 200:1 or 5ml per 1Lt of diesel. Is this a good mix?

    Cheers , Craig

    I add 400ml per full tank, not every time but often.

    I have been adding it to my 2006 LR3 from new untill sold and also my 2011 RRS. No ill effects and I do it as a bit of extra lube for the HP fuel pump which appears to be a weak point in modern diesels. (a highly stressed component)
    Cheap insurance in my view.

    Added 300ml to this tankful and will do for the next couple of tanks and report back.

    Engine does seem smoother, but this was always a pretty smooth engine.

    Using Castrol Activ 2T

    I completely understand what you are saying...

    They use to do.... <insert whatever they use to do here>...

    However... Some modern observations...

    They use to service Diesels at 5,000km intervals
    They use to crank start old vehicles
    They use to have Carbys on Petrol engines
    They use to have High Sulphur content in diesel fuel stocks
    They use to have a lot less detergents and specialised additive packages in oils
    They use to have Lead in Petrol for Lubrication
    They use to have metal as the main vehicle construction material
    They use to have Bias Ply tyres
    They use to utilise Asbestos for Brake linings, clutch linings and Gaskets


    My point:
    What once was, isn't necessarily what now is...

    If I was the CEO of a Big oil company, and by putting in 1% of 2T would make peoples engines quieter and smoother etc, I would consider that to be a marketable product.

    "New - Tombies Diesel+ enhances your driving experience, smoother running, better economy, reduces lower back pain, gives better mileage on your tyres, reduces pattern balding and enhances engine life. Get it now from your local service station"

    And then I'd price point it like they do with Ultimate 98 type fuels and make a killing...
