Re: are there any flashlube equivalent/replacements that you

£51 odd for 5 litre's including carriage, not bad cheapest about doing some searching for a refil

last 5 litre's lasted me 12 top ups on my romana system (Aug 11 to Apr 13) so decent value based on months per tub :mrgreen:

Re: Cat

ive been in the same boat and visited my local MOT guy to ask him, his words and probably not up to scratch

if it passes the emmisions then it passes car or not cat, if it doesn't new cat required or retune if running badly

i was going decat but having tested my CAT its fine so stick with it

Re: Why are Lubricators advised by some for LPG

I was advised to have flashlube installed on my 2004 Type R

ive reverted to JLM luve from eBaY its loads cheaper than Flashlube, hopefully its doing some good

i was told the additive in petrol keeps the valves in tip top condition and LPG doesn't have this so you get FLASHLUBE instead ???
