  Amazingly tonight I saw an elderly gentleman in an '04 reg Skoda Fabia with the cardboard sign in the rear window that I haven't seen for years..

• 2001 Ford mondeo 2.0 tdi - Car feels like it run out of diesel 9 Aug 2010 (Forum)
  Two months ago my vehicle started behaving like it has run out of diesel. When you put your foot on the accelrator, the engine cut out. When released its ran again until you went over 2k revs. After two miles it finally cut out with a lot of blue smoke. The garage re-programmed the injectors
