Is there an electronic igniter amplifier module on the distributor?

Re: Petrol neck filler
I find the Bilt-Hamber Deox powder pretty effective. As you dissolve it in water to make a bath, obviously there's a limit to the size of parts which can be treated.

Re: R8 hatch ride quality . Steel Vs alloy .
My R8 was way more comfy than the Honda Accord it replaced in 1991.

Some of what you say sounds like 216-speak!
Either way, a dodgy crank angle sensor could confuse the ECU as to injector timing.
There's also this to consider!
