Many thanks cam that's a very kind offer, in at Croydon. I may just take your on this if I can't determine the issue.

Many thanks

No probs.  I'm retired so pretty well free most days, if I'm not out cruising.

I went to the carby centre in Burwood and the guy told me to run it on 95, he said 98 is best for modern motors with fuel injection, etc.

Then you get it tuned with 95 in the tank, if you don't have an octane sensor it won't adjust when you change it to 98.

Someone else told me valve lube additive makes it run smoother even though he has hardened seats.

Do you favour a particular brand of petrol?

I usually go to Caltex or Shell due to shopper dockets, lol.

I can't really spot a difference between the two and haven't had the issues other people have with fouling plugs, etc.  I don't use 98 so not sure if that has something to do with it.

Online I hear differing accounts and it depends on which region you get your fuel from as to which one is better.

I only hear good reports about BP Ultimate though.

Edit: I also use the Nulon valve lube.
