  I managed to put 9 1/2 liters of petrol on top of 30 litres of diesel in an old technology VW 110 engine, any idea if I can get away with diluting with a full tank of diesel on top?? Chris S

• 'Off the wall' bids at auctions. 2 Oct 2007 (Forum)
  The following was taken from HJ's news article on the the Friday 14th car auction, "But either the vendor pushed the auctioneer to run it to an unviable £7,100, or there were simply no bids." Question is, do auctioneers take bids "off the wall" at car auctions to try and get a sale going. s

• Company Car Choice 12 Mar 2007 (Forum)
  Simple question really. I'm not after opinions on either, just a one word answer which will be "Golf" or "Scenic". Choice for company car is VW Golf 1.9TDi 105 S, or Renault Grand Scenic 1.5DCi 106 Dynamique. Which would you choose? Cheers, DB

• Save 100 lives the easy way 14 Dec 2006 (Forum)
  Proposals to change the time are estimated to save approx 100 lives a year http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/s/230/230583_move_to_eurotime_would_save_lives.html It looks like it may save more lives than all the camera partnerships put together, but doesn't generate any fines
• 16 or 17 inch alloys? 1 Nov 2006 (Forum)
  The Megane GT comes with the option of 16'' Kubera or 17'' Jarsalle Alloys. One of the few complaints I have with my current Megane is the fidgety ride as it has 17'' alloys. If I get the 16's will the ride be better? And what about cruising, is this affected? TIA
• Highways Agency vehicles 27 Sep 2006 (Forum)
  I've recently seen several Higways Agency vehicles on the M6. They are 4X4's and have police traffic vehicle style colours and blue flashing lights. They usually scare people into keeping to the speed limit (not a bad thing!) but I was wondering what their status is with regard to traffic offences

• Best tyres? 11 Jul 2006 (Forum)
  195/60/R15 88V's. Need two replacements...the one's on that back (that are staying) are Goodyear Eagle NCT5's. I was wondering what other people think of their tyres, such as the Bridgestone Turanza E300 and Vredistein Sportrac 2 - or if there are any other brands you feel are worthy or to avoid

• The Miller Cycle 7 Oct 2005 (Forum)
  I see the forthcoming replacement for the Suburu Imprezza uses the Miller cycle technology, which increases efficiency by 10 to 15%. If it is that effective, it seems strange that since this development has been around since the late 1940`s, why other manufacturers have not adopted
