| While I’m never quite sure if BP Diesel Ultimate (we don’t have Shell fuels over here in Norn Iron) gives improved smoothness/performance/fuel economy in my FL2, there is no doubt that Ultimate pe ... |

| As I said, I did replace the Bluetooth module in July 2021, so before the 13 came out and my wife got her 11 around that time so it may be that a later BT module might do the trick. I’ve had a look ... |
