  • 04 Renault Espace 1.9 dci 27 Oct 2006 (Forum)
    I have an 04 espace 1.9dci. when ,i think, the fuel peddle is in a certain position or maybe the car is on a certain inclinr, the engine appears to miss, but never stalls. It has been in to the main dealer on numerous occasions and they cannot rectify it. They have fitted a new potentiomater
  • Fuel price differential 17 Oct 2006 (Forum)
    I've never been able to understand people going seriously out of their way to pay 1p less per litre for fuel, but this afternoon the BP garage on one side of the road was selling diesel for 94.9p per litre (and it's on the way out of a retail park), and the Shell garage on the other side had
  • Clio Dci - Changing Fuel Filter question 8 Apr 2006 (Forum)
    Whilst servicing an 03 plate Clio Dci, I was wondering how you bleed the air when changing the fuel filter or do you simply prime the filter using hand pump and the pump's then self bleeding. I'm new to this new Dci setup and was concerned about anything going wrong. Any advice would be appreciated
  • Fuel Additives & MOT Emissions 24 Nov 2005 (Forum)
    Apologies if this has been done before. If fuel additives (redex etc) claim to reduce emissions, will they help on your MOT test at all?? Seems too good to be true to me. It's a 1992 1108cc phase 1 Renault Clio- failed on CO. Furthermore, it's about the only non-cat clio- the test centre
  • Rover 75 fuel gauge 6 Sep 2005 (Forum)
    Hi My fuel gauge has stopped working. Filled up today (£65 ouch), gauge went to the top...next journey and the gauge wont move off empty. Tried the usual of hard cornering and an emergency stop incase the little ball in the tank has got stuck but still no joy.. does anyone have any ideas to try
  • Fuel Consumption 9 Aug 2005 (Forum)
    I recently discovered a little display option on my dash that gives average mpg current mpg (that one is depressing usually) distance to empty This is what comes from having a mobile computer for a car, I suppose. An old fashioned fuel gauge I could figure out and pretty much understood how
  • Peugeot 406 hdi fuel leak 27 Jun 2005 (Forum)
    Hi, I have a 99 406 and it has developed a leak in the engine bay. It seems to only happen above 2500rpm (80mph+)and apart from this the engine runs fine. I have had the injector unions checked and changed the fuel supply/return pipes just in front of the cylineer head, where the leak appears
  • Fuel enhancers 26 Feb 2002 (Forum)
    Hi all a quick question, i recently used "ZX1 Extralube" in my fuel tank (stupidly putitng in 100ml instead of 50ml) since which the car has lost power on acceleration. This is an intermittent problem which comes and goes, i am still on the same tank of diesel too. Does anyone know
  • Fuel Consumption Meters 14 Aug 2001 (Forum)
    Can anyone tell me how the meters that lots of cars have now, apparently displaying the instantaneous mpg, work? Do they actually measure the rate of fuel supply to the engine, at a given instant, compare that figure with the road speed, and then calculate the mpg at that moment? Or is it simply
  • Fuel price 11 Nov 2021 (Forum)
    Saw diesel at £1.68 a litre at Fleet services yesterday....ouch. Remember queuing up to buy petrol when it went up to 50p a gallon.

  • Emptying fuel tank (306) 4 May 2006 (Forum)
    Is it possible to do this? Nope, no misfuelling ;o) I'm selling the thing, and currently have £50 worth of diesel in the tank!
  • LPG 15 Jun 2005 (Forum)
    With fuel prices as they are, why are there so few cars that can run on LPG? I know conversions are available on many but there are very few new cars that are bi-fuel.

  • Ecotek Fuel Saver 5 Jan 2003 (Forum)
    Does anyone know if this is worthwhile? And if it is, I wonder why the technology's not being used by car manufacturers (unless something to do with patenting...) frmarcus
