Nulons fine. Wynnes Spitfires good too. If it's from Wynnes or Nulon you can usually rely on it to be a good product. I've been using spitfire in the wifes car for years. Never an issue.

At the age of the car and probably the km,s, It probably would not hurt to pull the injectors out and have them serviced?

Run the injector cleaner with a full tank or premium unleaded. Shell is the best I'm told. It helps

hmmm take a look at your ignition H/T leads, if they look like they have a white powdery look, change them, it's very common. Would not hurt to remove those injectors and have them cleaned properly though.

yeah it is probably the best option but the car is still working so if the injector cleaner doesnt do the job thats the next step. will look at the ignition leads soon. cheers
