Hi all,
I bought a late 1999 V70 140 bhp last November to act as a workhorse whilst I renovated our house and it performed brilliantly, albeit in a thirsty manner.

We were that impressed we are going to keep it to ferry the grandkids around in and keep their muddy paws and feet out of the "sunday car".

It has in the last week started pinking under load quite badly and I am a bit concerned it may go bang.

I usually run it on normal unleaded but a drink from the Vpower pump doesn'r seem to have had much effect.

Any ideas

Get some new plugs in it mostly the general case when the old plugs are failing
