what is a knocklink?

Basically a sort of tiny microphone that bolts to the engine block, linked to an electronic box that displays the noise it picks up via a row of LED's.
Under normal driving conditions, the noise produced by the engine will not be sufficient to light any LED's other than the one that tells you the unit is live and working.
If, however, the engine starts to experience detonation (Knock, pinking, pre-ignition), sufficient noise is produced to trigger the LED's, warning the driver to lift his foot off the loud pedal, and so avoid piston melt down, valve burning, or a conrod through the cylinder block!

Petrol can be inconsistant in its quality 
this will also show up on knocklink.
My mate has knocklink fitted and always uses a certain 'Top grade' fuel
but found he has had Det in normal medium car loading 
He went back to the Car mapper, ran like it was 95 octane and found nothing wrong with map. He drove very carefully till it was used all up filled up from different Garage and all OK 
He reckons dodgy Petrol station or Tanker driver, scaming trying to make some easy money. If he'd have driven it hard with that Cr4p in and no Knocklink, He could have been looking for £5K for Engine rebuild
