the more ethanol in the fuel the more hygroscopic it becomes, that's why when you watch youtubers who fix garden machinery have lots of work in spring, after the fuels sat for 4 months absorbing water then corroding gumming up the carbs. in regular use it shouldn't be noticeable from any other type of petrol, especially in the relatively low compression rover engine.

Thanks for pointing out the hygroscopic tendency of ethanol. particularly as I put so,e of the same batch into the tractor, which is now running rough.

From what I have read the cruise pipes go through to a switch on the brake pedal and are normally quite perished by now
Ah, grovelling time. I suppose if I raise the car to emergency level and then put my prayer mat outside the door I might be able to see down there. Has anyone any experience of re-installing the complete cruise system ?

The pipe on the v8? Most with cars of a certain age. Some go for the thick walled silicone stuff which adds some colour.
