i was thinking i would half fill the tank 98 and half 95 make a blend of about a 96-97 depending on money and price of petrol and 98 if it all goes well

Well if you're feeling cheap yeah could do that. Do some trial and error to find what suits you, you'll only loose say £5 in the long run if high octane turns out to be no better than 95.

Yup, the belt for your air-con pump is missing. Shouldn't think it'll harm the car though...

Spashguard pretty wrecked on my 360 as the oil filter is removable by bending back the guard My first car was a 1.7 and the filter is nowhere near the gaps in the guard so took whole guard off at oil change times

I think that's an earth lead that runs off the rocker cover nut (Just below the "L" you'll see what I mean....) It should just about reach but it'll be tight. It came loose on my 360.
