use normal unleaded but will try super and see what happens. I recently had it plugged into fault diagnostics machine just for peace of mind and it came back with nothing.
How much oil does it take??

Ford designed it to run on shit fuel. If it's pinking on shit fuel and it's not chipped there's something wrong that needs fixing not covering up with expensive fuel.

Mine did it for a bit in the early days, think it was some crap super market fuel. Only use shell now, and it ain't hardly any dearer than asda.
Could be carbon build causing it if the motor only ever does short journeys ??

You can set the fuel setting in the ECU, mine was left blank when a mate from Ford checked it. He set it to 95ron. I have no idea what this alters & it was ok before & no different after.
If its been chipped they may of set it for 97 + maybe.See how u get on with Super.
