Shell V Power
So I always either use Shell Fuel Save Diesel or Shell V Power Diesel.
However, my last 2 tanks I have used the new V Power Nitro +.
Both tanks I have got 5 - 6 MPG better and therefore 50 - 60 more miles from each tank.
I'd add my driving style and journeys have been absolutely no different.

Oh that's unfortunate. Not had any tools need replacing myself as none of it is more than 4 years old. But some of the guys at work have had their stuff replaced numerous time no problem.
I didn't find the old v power any different to the fuel save or the regular diesel. But the Nitro + definitely makes a difference.

Might just be our dealer but such a pain! Lol stopped me buying stuff from them!
The diesel has more ceatain think it is that's why they run better and more power!
On v power mine used to idle better and seem to start better!

Haha the bag will do. I also dreamed of having one like this. It took me a long time to take the plunge.
Probably. We use Snap On Industrial instead of the franchise guys.
I've noticed it starts nicer actually

Nice car Ben. You really put a lot of effort into it. Looks amazing.
Just wondering, the spare wheel clamp you have. Did you buy that or is it a custom made job? I have a full size 16" spare but it's not in the car yet as I can't bolt it down as the standard clamp doesn't fit.
