Now covered 10K in my budget trade purchased Panda 1.1 eco since March.
Some thoughts
Car has now done 110K miles.
After a while the idle control valve started playing up..got a brand new magnetti marreli throttle body off eBay for £70..sorted.
Then I started getting the misfire over bumps..cleaned up all the earth points and fitted "new" coil packs off my old 1.2 punto. Coils had only done about 3K.
Car running better than ever
I've done over 1K and never missed a beat. I'm now using shell V power and getting as many mpg with it as I was with standard. Car is so much more responsive and genuinely feels awesome! It took a couple of tank fulls to feel the difference but it definitely feels happier on 98 fuel.
Love this car
I decided to try the 98 octane after working on my friends mondeo st220 v6 for the last twelve months and seeing the power and mpg figures improve.
