Millers Oils currently have their VSPe which is for pre cat vehicles, ie. vehicles that initially ran on leaded fuel which offers valve seat protection AND it protects against the harmful effects of ethanol in fuel up to E10. It also stabilses fuel and reduces the degrading of fuel.
I've used the original VSP since the demise of leaded fuel in 2000 in my 60 / 70's  classic Triumphs, and more recently their more advanced VSPe for the additional protection against ethanol in unleaded fuels. It is Manganese based, and in my opinion one of the better additives available.
Hopefully, they may develop their fuel additives to protect against E10 in cat equipped vehicles that otherwise couldn't use E10 fuels.

I thought E5 would still be available but more expensive than E10 much like standard fuel and super duper fuel is now?

My understanding is E5 will be available as super unleaded for 5 years. But who knows whether the government will chop and change their mind. I vaguely remember once being encouraged to buy a diesel 🤦‍♂️

Good job both my Volvos can run on E10 then,as can all Volvos from 1976 onwards apart from the S/V40s with the 1.8 GDI engine-which I believe is a Mitsubishi engine.

Most of the cars owned on here will be bean tins before E10 is the only fuel available.

It is. But it self-destructs long before you'll ever suffer any problems from ethanol. Not to mention that even when it's running properly, it's crap.

or just use esso synergy petrol. its 99 ron super unleaded with zero ethanol content .
its what ive started using now on all mine.
and it also means you can run older cars back onto their original ignition timing settings with no pinking.

No upside whatsoever with that combination.  ;D

Having said that. My Porsche was built in Finland, and they are obviously as good at electrics as the French. Almost everything that goes wrong with them is electrical issues.  ::)

as a friend said of his Audis(an S6 and A1) - if it says Bosch on it, it will go wrong.
There are a lot of Bosch parts in German cars...

Hi guys. Not bumping but I thought I’d let you know the manifold went back on and she’s quiet as a mouse. Touch wood of course. Putting it back together was an absolute horror show. My only good arm is chewed up to fcku. The gasket I got had of course the 7 holes for the studs but two of them weren’t big enough 😬😬😬 I of course only realised this after fighting with it for two hours 😩😩😩 I then simply opened them up a couple of mil and wallop goes on instantly 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Anyways happy omega owner…… til the next thing.
