Decided to spend a bit of dosh on the car and get the carbon buildup looked at in the very near future. AMD Essex will do it and come highly recommended and know what they are doing with a before and after dyno run.

Service, MOT, spark plugs and air filters booked in next week, so next on the list will indeed be a de-coke. In two minds whether to get them to check out the inlet flaps while they are at it.

Having had mine de-coked and de-flapped I am in the ‘do it’ camp!
I really noticed a difference, in terms of performance, peace of mind and decreased MPG ....did I mention performance LOL
