  of diesel from the pump but it is not getting to the injectors. There are no blockages within the fuel filter which is new but the car doesn't seem to have any fuel for starting only when running. Can't find any air leaks and or any crimped pipes. As stated car started first time
• Volkswagen Passat (2005 - ) - 05 2.0 TDI PD140 diesel leak from new car 7 Jan 2010 (Forum)
  that tandem fuel pump was leaking and needed replacing. No spares available in UK so must wait about 1 week for spare to be sent from Germany. Any others experienced this with the new Passat. Could this be related to the earlier recall of TDI based VW's due to ill fitting bolts on the fuel pump housing
• Ford Mondeo III (2000 - 2007) - 02 2.0 fuel injector no good, should i buy 1 or 4? 27 Oct 2009 (Forum)

  and water seem clean. I've drained the fuel filter and tried again with the air box off. It starts up very well and the engine is very quiet (compared to a 306 1.9d with 165k anyway) I've got a new fuel filter and air filter in the post. The brakes are not dragging, I've checked each wheel. Do you have
• Nissan Primera II (1996 - 1999) - 97 2.0TD Not idling on cold startup 15 Sep 2009 (Forum)
  and take it for a 300m spin around the block it starts up fine. Seams to happen when the first startup is in the morn. Afternoon starts are fine. Probably no more than 5 deg difference in ambient temp (ie early Autumn with no frost) Battery is good, fuel from shell, fuel filter and all belts are 9 months
• Ford Escort (1993 - 2000) - 97 1.8 Diesel issue 14 Jul 2009 (Forum)
  it has (as a result of one of these coughs, cut out about 3 times when standing still). If it was a petrol engine, I'd say I had an intermittent ignition problem, but I'm not all that familiar with diesels. Don't think it would be the fuel distibution pump or an injector, or it would happen more often
• Peugeot 306 (1993 - 2001) - 94 2.0d Won't start 24 Feb 2009 (Forum)
  I have a diesal 306 that wont start unless it is bump started via a tow from a mate. I have replaced all the heater plugs and checked that they are getting current which they are, I have checked the fuel supply to the injector pump and this is fine- obviously as it starts when bump started. I
• LPG conversions -- resale values 3 Dec 2008 (Forum)
  I was having a look at a couple of LPG conversion websites, and was wondering about the resale values against a diesel car. Say, for the sake of argument a 2.5l petrol car cost about £3000 at 4 years old because of the fuel consumption. A similarly-powered diesel car may well be the thick end

  % increase in fuel consumption. Opting for the wrong size will save around £120 for a set of tyres but inrease the fuel bill by 2%. Any thoughts?

• When will they stop fleecing us 2 Oct 2007 (Forum)
  I was just thinking today after hearing about the latest tax increase on fuel and also the fact that Nottingham council will be taxing you to park your car at work (from 2014) and a colleague who has the opportunity to talk to a lot of councils on their road maintenance plans for the future tells
• TDCi Focus cutting out 13 Aug 2007 (Forum)
  Hi A problem has just started with my TDCi Focus today, twice it has just cut out, no misfire or hesitation, a complete stop. Having rolled to a "safe" stop so far, the engine has then started fine straightaway. A friend has told me to check the fuel filter for contaminants as my fist step
• Road pricing is inevitable if...... 13 Jul 2007 (Forum)
  ....electric cars catch on in a big way. By electric cars I mean the sort you can plug in at home. The treasury will lose in a big way, no VED and no fuel tax. You can't tax the electricity more because how can you differentiate between an electric fire and your Wizz plugged in? So the only fair
• Worst excuse from a mfr/dealer/tech 17 May 2007 (Forum)
  Prompted by the hilarious comment about it being normal to replace Ford locks every two years. What's the worst / most implausible / most outrageous nonsense you've been fed by a manufacturer, dealer or mechanic? Mine has to be when I ran out of fuel in a 2001 406 2.0 HDi. The computer was still

  Vauxhall Astra 1.8 Auto, year 2000, 78,000 miles How can I tell if my lambda sensor is faulty? Checking my fuel consumption on a rolling 12 months basis, I've noticed that it's dropped from 31 to 29 mpg. The annual consumption has never varied more than 1 or 2 tenths. It's been well serviced
