Has the car been modified? Did you put normal unleaded or super unleaded? If you did not put a lot in then fill up with either shell v-power or tesco momentum. If you filled it get a couple of named brand octane booster and put them in. Millers, NOS or STP are ones you can get easily and are of a known quality easiest place to get them will probably be Halfords.
