• Audi 80 starting problem 18 Jan 2006 (Forum)
  . there is fuel in the tank. Being member of the AA and having Home start I thought I would call them out. The man came out, spent approx 40 mins checking plugs, leads, fuel, filters, belts, fuses etc. and then in the end had to admit he didn't know what the problem was. I have now been relayed to an Audi main
• 1996 rover 400 wont start 13 Jan 2006 (Forum)
  Hi , I have a 96 rover 400 2.0 td and it refuses to start. It turns over no problem but will not fire. If i push it it will start easily but will not start from the key. It started to play up about a 2 months ago being hard to start so i changed the heater plugs and the fuel filter, it then went
• Mk1 Mondeo Idling Issues.. :( 26 Sep 2005 (Forum)
  ... and then all of a sudden it will drop off... the engine will try to recover, but then it will drop off and stall. I does this in traffic as well. Fairly annoying... I believe the problem is fuel related, as its had new air filter etc.. Somebody I spoke to said it could be a split fuel distributer/valve
• Disasters & reliance on cars 24 Sep 2005 (Forum)
  is, accordingly, pretty limited given the wealth of that country. Has that 'policy' backfired? No we have the awful situation of people sitting in mainly gas guzzling cars using up precious and quickly disappearing fuel just to prevent themselves from baking in the sun. Nobody is going anywhere, fuel can't
• SAAB 900 Turbo.. Smart and easy to run? 4 Feb 2005 (Forum)
  Hi folks, My wife is thinking abut buying a SAAB 900 Turbo for her journey to work. She wants something that looks smart and executive (she has a smart and executive job!) but doesn't want to spend a lot of money on a car. HOWEVER, a big consideration is fuel economy as she commutes 300 miles
• Passat TDI Chipped & Wow!! 1 Oct 2004 (Forum)
  Hi, Just had my Passat TDI 110bhp chipped & wow what a difference! The sheer torque increase is fantastic and instead of foot down-delay-go its foot down-GONE. The car is atleast 30% more responsive and great fun to drive, the fuel econ has increased as an extra bonus over a 45 mile journey I

• Ford Capri 2.8i gauges misbehaving 16 Jun 2004 (Forum)
  The fuel gauge and temperature gauge on my 1984 Capri 2.8i are being perverse -- jointly. They are on the right-hand side of the dial cluster; they register maximum unpredictably, when I know there's not much fuel in the tank and that the engine temperature is normal. The battery and oil-pressure
• Good mid-sized auto diesel 11 Feb 2003 (Forum)
  What is available? If you want the auto option a lot of cars only seem to have a petrol available e.g. Ford Focus. It horrifies me the effect that some autoboxes have on fuel consumption e.g. Rover 75 1.8 Manual 36.2mpg, 1.8 Auto 30.1 - admittedly petrol but equally bad effect on the derv engine
• BP Argos Points - Caution 12 Sep 2002 (Forum)
  Until recently I drove trucks for a living and had filled up at BP garages three or four times a week, saving the BP Premier Points. When I managed to get a balance of the card it only showed £7.50 on it, which did not match the amount of fuel bought/cash spent/points saved. I complained

Some gas turbine fuel injectors use vibration from piezo-electric vibrators to obtain a smaller fuel size droplet and hence enormous emission reduction benefits. What about applying this latter technique to cars/ trucks

  Did anyone see any Genesis cars in flesh? I didn't know that Hyundai Genesis have entered UK market. The cars look stunning - both interior and exterior. The fuel economy is bit poor though.

• Backfiring on the overrun 24 Jun 2018 (Forum)
  A modern Mini near me is regularly heard backfiring on the overrun. I would have thought that as all modern cars are injected and the fuel would be cut off on the overrun backfiring wouldn't be possible?
