Hi!
Guys I am about to do my timing on my 1.2, I have never done it before, however I have a proper mechanic to help me. Now the question is what my timing should be set to? Taking in to account that its unleaded. I have heared that they used to set it at factory to 10C BTDC. What should it be set to then for unleaded?

I have checked Hayenes but cant find anywhere the timing settings!
