I'm just wondering how much of a factor fuel could be, presumably in conjunction with something else?
My last 2 fill-ups have been (I think) Esso 97 followed by BP 97. Neither of which I have ever used before in this car. Today, getting a bit low and needing to go out I called in at my "local" and filled up with cooking 95 (Esso). Only took 55 litres as I got the "tilted down filler" side of a very busy (bloody Tesco local shop and people "park" at the pump!  ) forecourt so will be a bit of a mixture. Did about 10 miles so the fuel lines should be well flushed through.The "theory" is that lower octane is easier to ignite, I'll see how it goes over the next few days. When I got home it was nicely warmed up and starting fine, as ever when hot.
