Hi Arnaud,

I know that I will fail but I urge you to stop worrying unnecessarily. Just because a component is 23 years old doesn't automatically make it unreliable, nor does a change in petrol specification. When my SD1 was built there was no such thing as unleaded in the UK or ethanol additives. The in-tank electric fuel pump gave no trouble whatsoever over 35 years.

Save your money for when something really fails.

Simon
