• xsara hdi unrefined 15 Feb 2007 (Forum)
  Hi there recently got a xsara 2.0 hdi 90 and basically i feel that its a little unrefined, the throttle sometimes feels like an on/off switch which can lead to a bit of an all or nothing jerky progression, i know that the throttle is electrically wired to the ecu and not a cable that goes straight

  missing on a cylinder. It has only been driven a couple of miles like that.

• Rover Engine Judders 27 Oct 2004 (Forum)
  leads from plugs to distributor and diagnostics find nothing. Have cleaned throttle butterfly, its pivots are unworn & action smooth. No detectable manifold leaks. Any help you can give to prevent whiplash injury would be great !!! Thanks, Vinnie.
• Triumph 2000 C.R. output etc 24 Feb 2004 (Forum)
  A while back there was a thread on additives to replace leaded petrol, and Dizzy was querying why my Mark 1 needed an anti-knock additive but his (Mark 2 ?)didn't. I had remembered I thought that the Mark 1 had more power than a Mark 2, but ascribed it to the wrong reason. You were right, the Mark

• Choosing an urban car 16 May 2003 (Forum)
