from Ian Soady as we are taking the car to Switzerland via Germany next
week, and leaded fuel is almost unobtainable in Germany.

Yes there is no lead petrol available these days.

>The last time I was there they sold me an (expensive) additive to put in
the tank, which worked OK and I had no problems.  

The price dropped on these and it's available in every bigger store or at gas stations.

Anyway I was driving the last 10K without any additive, and as I just took my engine apart there was no sign of seat / valve wear.
