What's the prize for the winner?

Perhaps a spot of injector cleaner in the fuel might help.---

This sounds like my problem I tried to fix before, make sure the fuel lines at the fuel cooler are not restricted.

Its worth a look and a easy check as well.

I am going to say rear light seals!

To the OP, there is a RonBox mentioned in your profile. Is it fitted, and have you tried the car with this removed?

A bottle of Forte into the fuel filter, idle car for a minute or so and leave to soak overnight, wouldnt do any harm, and may help clean up the spray pattern a little.

The RON-BOX was removed several years ago when I had the 160 upgrade.

Thanks Mike, thats what i meant!
as i have removed the injectors and cleaned the nozzles myself i can vouch for how much sand/silt rubbish actually came out of them!
