I've been having a bit of trouble with my omega this past few days, which I've been told by the friendly local mechanic, that an oil and filter change and fuel filter change will make this problem go away. I'm having them both changed tomorrow(free of charge :D-the garage made a mistake a while ago and I was off the road for a couple of days, so I'm having a free, full service :D )

The mechanic also said about getting something to put in with the fuel(diesel) that will clean the injectors :? . Can anybody recomend any products?

Any injection cleaner will do the job, Redex do one.

Location: Plymouth, i think, i'll just check the A to Z!
i used to use redex on my old mondeo. i used to put the whole lot in when i filled about 1/2 a tank. OK that a higher concentration han what they say to do, but it does make a big difference.
take it for a good run up the motorway and back and you'll be suprised how much better it is after.
