• Focus Filters 5 Jan 2007 (Forum)
  I took the Focus TDCI for a MOT, which it passed, an oil change and filter and a new fuel filter to my local independent garage yesterday. The reason why I get the garage to do the oil change is because it is impossible to do without being on a ramp. It is very difficult to do even on a ramp

• HJ's Nissan Leaf "how far can you go" review. 17 Nov 2010 (Forum)
  similar “how far can we go on a gallon of fuel” test enraged me - the "Pious" set off with fully-charged batteries + a gallon of fuel - that test was simply unfair, the energy in the "Piouses" batteries didn't come from nowhere - it cost fuel to put it there! Rant over - I'll go
