Thanks for replying.
I suspect these suppliers are UK-based; I should have stated that I'm in
Australia. I'll have them sent if needs be, but if anybody knows of an
Australian distributor & could post their detrails, I'd be most grateful.
THe last time I drove the 420G in question (my father-in-law's), Super
petrol was freely available here. Whilst my '98 4.0 Range Rover is having
it's *engine* replaced.... (oh the joy of British cars) I'm running around
in it again, & enjoying it immensely. However, I'm not sure what fuel to run
it on here in the land of Oz. Any (sensible) suggestions? I've heard that
the lead substitute in LRP can leave a buildup in the valve seats over time,
whilst PULP has no lubricating qualities at all- what to do?

Charlie,
Give Phil an e-mail over at H&H Prestige Spares on Melbourne.
http://www.prestige-spares.com.au/ If he doesn't have it he will know where
you can get it.

Most of us in Melbourne run our Jags on Optimax (mine is a S3, XJ6). The
alloy heads on the XK engines have hardened inserts anyway so ULP is OK.
However, the XK120/140/150 chaps tend to throw in a sachet of additive with
every Optimax fill-up. Contact Andrew on 7to10@jagvic.org.au for all the
details.
Cheers.
