Ive just read an article that says dont fill your RS with unleaded petrol unless it has been setup to do so. Ive got an 88 Spec and the lad i bought it off told me to fill it with super unleaded, if this is true it may explain my starting probs, please somebody shed some light on it,

 

wont be the fuel m8

 

Im going to do the air filter now when my mate gets here, are you online for most of the evening so i can get back to you.. So 88 spec are OK on unleaded,, i know i must sound thick but ive always had new cars and never worried about it,

 

You can't get fuel with lead anywhere nowadays. Actually you can't have had for years now.

 

The car will just run better with higher octane fuel, if thats what it has been set up to use. Shouldnt make any difference under normal driving conditions really.
