Hi pmr147,
Good job I looked in! We supply Broquet (and have been for 12 years). You will require 2 number 8-pellet in-tank units with a list price of £145.70 plus £2.00 p/p but DISCOUNTED by 20% so Special Price is £118.56 to Scoobynet community. Supplied with all instructions and full info pack. This is a one-off installation which will never require replacing and will allow you to run well and safely on 95 RON unleaded. It should also give you an economy improvement and a Scooby owner reported a 9% saving on this board some time ago. Switching from say, SUL, to regular unleaded and with an improvement in economy will soon pay for the Broquet unit/s. Lube oil will also stay cleaner for longer which has to be good news. Happy to chat on 01403 823507 at any civilised hour or please e-mail david@broquet.co.uk
Cheers - David

Hi Pete,
Yes that's me and the good old CSMA (Civil Service Motoring Association) for those not in the know! The largest private motoring club in the world.
About 30,000 CSMA members use the product - primarily to run older "leaded" engines on unleaded. Some years ago they did a survey "What do you think of Broquet?" Result 120 letters in 4 weeks. 108 said they thought it was great and made a real difference. 4 or 5 said they thought that performance had dropped off and the few remaining said it hadn't made any difference. A fantastic result really because 90% of these cars were 97 octane leaded engines which had switched to 95 unleaded after fitting Broquet. Not a single report of engine damage was received or even hinted at. The CSMA deputy chairman won the London to Cape Town Rally using Broquet in an old Westminster. Oh and the Peking to Paris winner a couple of years ago - guess what he had in the tank? Yep. David.

Hi Matt
P1's have two of these in their tanks fitted by Prodrive. Combined with the ECU this is how they managed to map the engine for 95ron.

Cheers
