  • peugeot 205 gti 1.6 1986 - rough running 30 Aug 2012 (Forum)
    much it seems in danger of stalling. Then, usually, flooring it cures the problem, but lifting off and reapplying the gas again can cause a backfire. Spark plugs look OK, fuel filter recently changed, fuel pump is a bit noisy but seems fine. A light spray of WD40 over the electrics sometimes

  • Ford Focus Estate - ENDURA PUMP PROBLEM? 2 Oct 2011 (Forum)
    refuses to run, there is fuel at the injectors by the tanker load but she will only run on the naughty gas. Im beginning to think maybe there is a "coding" problem but if the immobiliser was not seeing the Bosch pump surely there would be no fuel up to the injectors??? This is driving me nuts, Ive
  • most economic older 7 seater 1 Oct 2011 (Forum)
    I now cannot afford to run my grand voyager due to the high cost of fuel. As a childminder I have toyed with the idea of getting a convertible and fitting a multimac rear seat, however I am now wondering if I would be better buying an older 7 seater for the same price as the multimac (approx

  • Honda Jazz - Good long termer? honda jazz 26 Oct 2010 (Forum)
    perhaps my first point is academic! Also been looking at the 1.6 focus, but dont think that its much better on fuel than my 2 litre, so apart from being newer, not much advantage.
