Can i use unleaded in this car or would i be safer using LRP?

I ran my 5 Turbo on super unleaded and it didn't do it any harm.

Try giving one of the 5 specialists a ring, Ian Nixon @ Europarts is a great help,

May be a bit late in the day for you on this one but I've been running my R5 on unleaded for quite some time (2-3 years), I do give it a loving tankful of Optimax/super every now and again but it runs fine. I was told at the time (when LPG was fast dissapearing) that it has hardend valve seats which would be able to cope no probs...

I get the impression that your car is a 'Mk2' whereas the 'Le Car' is a Mk1.
