      Same as Shimmy i prefer to use Tesco's and ive never noticed a bad batch of fuel.

      Glad you have joined the Murkets crew lol :thumbs:
      Captain Worrier, if you don't mind :hahaha: I guess I was unlucky with T-99 but poor quality fuel was to blame on this occasion.
      Are U on Murketts books, with your SG ? Not that my car needed it (since it's only been 2K since the big Inspection 2 at Park Lane) but I think the Complimentary Health Check from Murketts was a nice touch :thumbs:

        Im not trying to fuel a fire, but without analysing your t99 there is no way of knowing this, they were making an educated guess because the fault in their computer was stored rather than current. So if your light returns, dont be surprised.

          Well, my T99 has been washed out by Shell V-power 98 now so there's nothing to analise now. I hope the light stays off but I'll make some noise if it comes back on.

                Just a quick update with regards to my engine (emissions) light coming on over the weekend, after Tesco 99 fill up. The ECU has been interrogated and the only fault (if you can call it that) was the great discovery that I had non standard cats :hahaha:. Both Andy @ Murketts BMW as well as my reputable Indy I've used for many years,collectively pointed at the poor quality of fuel used. Despite the Tesco 99 octane fuel being high octane it isn't always consistent. Remember Tesco being on the News some time ago with people in regular, non high performance cars conking out with failed Cats / Lambda sensors. The fault has been cleared, I added 30 litres of my choice fuel (Shell V-Power 98) to the CSL and all seems well again, after a further spirited 60 miles the light is still out :thumbs:. Never again, Tesco can keep their over hyped, irregular Peesh :whistle: THANX again to all who cared to share their thoughts
                Interesting this as i had my emissions light come on yesterday for the first time in nearly 4 yrs of ownership (100 cells) i just put it down to a near 7 hr journey in the pouring rain knackering out a sensor from cornwall. But for the first time i had to change petrol from vpower to bp ultimate due to the local farmer running out i think bp ult is 97 about 200 miles later the light came on still surprised that a lower octane can do this anyway this thread was a nice little find :smokin:
