Ford Telstar 1983 Q&As

Check out real-world situations relating to the Ford Telstar 1983 here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.

  • Fuel confusion

    IT depends on the compression ratio of your engine. When it was sold new there was a choice of standard and super petrol. Standard had an octane rating a little below the 91 of the current unleaded, super was 98. Most cars of the time were running super and I believe that would be best for your car, with an additive for protection of the valves and valve seats.
