Oh o! This is what happens when you don't check things!! 700

Hi Folks

I might have made a real mess up.

Basically I bought 20 year old 760 turbo (B230 ET) for a few hundred dollars(pounds in UK).

So the manual states 98 Octane for motor and the Volvo club here recommends Leaded gas. It has a high compression 9.0 - 1 so what are the effects to the motor if I run it on 95 Octane unleaded??

Anyway most of the damage should have been done by now as high octane 'super' unleaded doesn't seem to be available any more here in the UK.

How do I convert??
Matt
