hi
i have a 1989 espace 2.0Lt petrol, i am finding it more and more difficult to get lead replacement petrol, as a lot of garages are no longer stocking it.
can i run the car on unleaded( i used to have a lada, ok you can all laugh now, and i could run that on leaded or unleaded) or does it need special tuning/converting. thanks for help :confused:

Well I'd have a garage check out the cars ECU to see if it handles Unleaded

Hey,
First of all you've gotta tell us if it's fuel injected motor or carb.
If carburetted, no problem, and even better to run it on unleaded. Use high octane 95 gas.
It's probably carburetted, cause almost all injected R. Espace cars have lambda control which would be put out of order as son as you fuel up with leaded stuff.
