Range Rover Blues:
Another thing worth mentioning is that modern, low lead low sulphur petrol doesn't leave the same deposits as most manuals describe.  When I first started motoring you could tell your car was well tuned by the colour of the exhaust! after a long run of course, now they are never anything but black.

oakeedokee:
Actually you've just raised another point there. I've only had my Rangie a couple of weeks and was told it takes unleaded. Is that right or should I be alternating with LRP every so often. It's an '89 engine apparently.

Range Rover Blues:
Unleaded should be fine, as it has hardened valve seats in the Ali head.  You may want to retard the timing slightly from 6 deg though!
