ECU is under the passenger side floor panel - Remove the metal floor panel to see the ECU, look for any stickers which may have been added by a tuner. Remove the ECU cover and check to see whether an additional 28pin Eprom or board has been fitted in the chip holder shown below -
If there is a board/chip in the location shown there is a strong possibility it has a Japanese tuner map
Cheers

I don't get it.
Why run 95 at all?
If the guy is too much of a cheapskate to spend an extra 3p / litre, do you really think he's going to spend £150 on a remap? And why did he buy the car in the 1st place?
If he is ignorant of the fuelling issues walk away - buyers market
