Hi Ron,

I read somewhere on the forum that you designed the Synergy2, so I reckon your are qualified in making a suggestion about how hard to drive a diesel engine. As one of the 'gentle drivers' I admit to feeling nervous about pushing the car hard. The car has been running smoothly now for the past 2 weeks. Given that there may well be drivers like myself out on the open road, could it be equally prudent to just floor the accelerator whilst the engine is on and stationary with injector cleaner in the tank, or not?

Are we looking at red-lining the tach and if so how often? or would 3K / 4K at least once a month be adequate?

What would you suggest? I am interested in your thoughts.

Thanks

Phil
