Moronic previous owners

[Saint Steve]

All those expensive summer tyres are useless when the temperature drops below 6C.  Like running on Airfix plastic wheels.
My filler flap says 95 RON so any old stuff is OK.

The most moronic thing is to crash the car.  Never the same again.  Just like Hammonds M3.

.............but recommends 98 ron so that's what goes in mine.

Kiss goodbye to your Pistons then Egbert. Running a Remapped car with 95 octane, is suicidial .

As your are, keep going fella.Couldnt happen to a nicer chap

[Egbutt Wash]

95 RON will never knock out pistons on a modern car.  It might just make the gearbox last longer as the knock sensors warn the ECU to back down on the power a bit.  But that's about it.

Anyway who's Egbert?
My new name is Egbutt.

Yes the knock control makes the required adjustments depending on which fuel you run. Anything about 95 damaging your engine is a load of crap.

The only thing 99ron offers is more power

[Ed30DSG]

Be warned that for those running high timing settings (custom remap/revo SPS3), the std ECU may not be able to reduce the timing enough if it detects knock via low quality fuel. If you're mapped, you should always use 98RON fuel - I keep a can of octane booster in my car just in case I can't find any.

Utter borrocks.  One knock and it's fixed.  Don't forget some of that 98 RON stuff is polluted with tank corrosion as a consequence of selling so slowly.

Well previous owners of mine, seems in good condition but one thing irritates me...

4 DIFFERENT TYRES!

How can someone even be bothered to do that? Seriously!

I've always changed tyres in pairs, even if it's 2 of one brand on the front and 2 of another brand on the rear, but not 4 different tyre brands!

Thing is, these cars you don't mess around with rubbish tyres, I can say it has ONE Michellin tyre on the rear left side, the rest are brands i've never heard of.

Jokers!

Would you chance it though with a remap R32uk??

I certainly wouldnt want to risk it , for the sake of 3p, or be a tight ass like Smellybutt wash says

3p !!!! PAAAAH ! Where you buying your petrol from!?

Down here its no uncommon for the super stuff to be 9, 10 Ive seen 11p more  

I remember this clear as day aswell as I was shocked. Last year when petrol was 1.10 I paid 1.21 for V-Power.

5-6 p difference by me, which at under £4 difference a tank I don't think its worth risking lower quality fuel
