i've got gallons of redex from about 1940 in the shed , bloke at work gave it to us when he found it in his dads shed, aparently garages used to use it when you take your car in for a de-coke, take the plugs out, stick a bit in the bores, let it soak for a few mins, turn it over a few times by hand then start her up, tried it on the 205, by god does it smoke! can stick a bit in the carb aswell.
