Rebuilding my saloons front struts using new springs and shocks, the top mount and plate are good ( galvanised I think) but the spring cups below mount are both rusted through and very thin after cleaning them up. Does anyone have or has recently successfully found a source for these parts? 1985 XR2 I believe. Thx

I've not extensively looked into this, but isn't the issue more related to the rubber hoses than anything else? I thought the higher Ethanol content will cause older rubber hoses to break down faster, but newer rubber hoses should be OK.
This is from the RAC website, not sure what seals will be affected, but our metal fuel tanks might be prone to internal corrosion.
"If you put E10 fuel in an incompatible car it will still run,
but seals, plastics and metals may be damaged over longer
periods as a result of bioethanol's corrosive properties. It is
a hygroscopic, which means it absorbs water from the atmosphere,
leading to condensation in fuel tanks if the car remains unused
for long periods of time."
Happy to be corrected if I am wrong.
Regards,
Steve

I’m told that the Super Unleaded fuel is still E5 so that’s an option if you can stomach the extra cost per litre.
But then I’ve been wondering if maybe my Q might prefer a younger engine rather than drink watered down E10 petrol. 😉
Having been very impressed with the one litre 125PS Ecoboost in my Focus, I’m thinking that might make a lot of sense. Anyone tried fitting one of those in a Q yet?
Best
Matthew

There has been controversy over Ethanol, arguments for are that the crop (rapeseed?) removes CO2 and provides O2, arguments against are stating that land should be used for food crops, not fuel.
As always, no everyone will be happy. Back in 1989, Ford/New Holland tractors where I worked at the time were making tractor for Brazil which run on 100 % Ethanol.
Maybe we are fortunate, it could be worse?

I thought I would like a 1.25 Sigma, but I’m sure the exhaust manifold would cook the bulkhead! Ecoboost may be the same position, I don’t know anything about them TBF.

I bought some ethanol proof hose last week from Car Builder Solutions, having tried local outlets………. Beware, that (certainly in my experience) some vendors seem to either have no knowledge or not care about what they are selling or the consequences of ethanol in petrol. Geoff has his experience, and I have similar (hose failure on Rickman the day after MOT test!). ‘Guidance’ from local motor factor was “yes, that’s the hose you want, it’s ok with petrol or diesel” when I specifically asked for hose that was ok with petrol containing ethanol. The local ‘motorsport’ (ie go faster Vauxhall saloon – carlos fandango wheels) garage, said “this hose is ok – we don’t know anyone who’s had problems with it, just use super unleaded” when trying to sell me a hose which just said Gates 8mm on it.
*********** It needs to be to spec SAEJ30 R9 or DIN73379 (which should be marked repeatedly on the hose)************
