I cant find any info on what the mix should be on this car, and I'm not sure what fuel injection system i have, so can't look anything further up.

Can anyone help with this at all? I also don't have access easily to an analyser, so there would be a little bit of guesswork involved in this.

Also, see the MOT certificate attached, anything serious on this list of advisories?

Thanks
It is a touch weak 1.5% would be preferable but if it is running smoothly i wouldn't worry too much . 3.5% is the limit .. you have Bosch K-Jetronic .

All those items should have been picked up on your last service , if you neglect them you will have to get them all done at once which is what has happened ..
