Hi all ive just bought a 8 reg astra gte 8v with 152 000 miles on it for my run around. The car has had one former keeper and has been well looked after and has had many new parts.
The bodywork is nearly mint as its been resprayed and arches are perfect with no rust on the car whatsoever, the interior is a mess, needs a good clean and there are some stains/rips.
My main concern is that it still runs on LRP, the owner claimed tha unleaded can be used but it does feel as quick, he also said that there is a switch that can be turned on in the engine to adjust the timeing??? does anybody know what hes going on about? im not sure what to do fuel wise? ive put in sum lrp but would prefer to run it on UL/
any advice?
many thanks
