Since this is a money saving forum, the only sensible advice is - don't buy any more.

It doesn't matter much what you do with the stuff you've already bought.

Don't drink it...

About the same effectiveness levels as raspberry ketones.

I wouldn't drink either or put either in my tank.

Or get anyone to pressure wash the moss off my roof.

Put the unopened bottle on eBay, and try and get something back.

You should have put it straight in when you bought it, and then you could kid yourself that the car was running "better" "smoother" "faster" "more economically".
Now you have been told that it is snake oil, the placebo effect won't work.

Ah Redex, back to the 1950s 1d(old money) per shot in the petrol, we all thought it made the old bike faster!

no , but it stopped us burning the exhaust valve out on our BSA bantams *

In 1978, BSA bantams changed hands for around £2, (about £20 in todays money ), for riding on fields.

I wish I'd had the sense to fill our garage with them , but at the time my parents would have gone on about the "rubbish" and they would have got scrapped (which is what happened to most of them).

Croyland, please answer these questions:

Is the car giving you engine problems?
Is it diesel or petrol?

If you answer "Yes" to Q.1, what is the mileage? remember that a 1997 Corsa is now 18 years old. If your answer is "No" then definitely do not use the Redex.

As an ex-workshop foreman with many years' experience, I never saw any advantage in any "Additives" sold to motorists. They were advertised to take advantage of the lay person's lack of professional knowledge.

You can put it in if you like, Dont expect it to actually do anything though.

Is there any reason why your thinking of putting that in?

Fifth Gear did a test of an older car using a rolling road and got significant improvements using Redex.

A car will lose some of its performance during its life.

Redex can help to clean deposits to recover some of the lost power.
