• SEAT Cordoba (1994 - 2003) - Running a VAG TDi on vegetable oil 6 Apr 2009 (Forum)
  Is it ok or do they blow up? I used to run a 1.8 TD 1996 Ford Mondeo and a 1996 Volvo 850 TDi estate on 30-70% (depending on how warm it was) and they both got along ok with the only problem being on 100% vege oil they didn't boost, but as soon as added diesel they where ok again. thanks

• Rover 200 (1995 - 1999) - 97 1.4 Car won't stop running... 18 Mar 2009 (Forum)
  I recently changed both the alternator and starter motor on my Rover 214i and now my car won't stop running, even when I take the key out of the ignition or take the battery off. The only thing that turns the car off is switching the headlights on. Any suggestions as to what might be the problem
• Rover 200 and 400 (1989 - 1996) - 91 1.6 hot restart 29 Sep 2008 (Forum)
  Our 216 frequently won't restart when it's a bit warm. If you do a decent run and it gets hot it will restart ok, but a short run almost guarantees hassle--it will fire up then die immediately. If we wait a couple of minutes it will run again.It's a real pain at the pumps!!! It can't be too serious

  I have noticed that my Passat does not run as smoothly as it used to. It has passed 150k and is in need of the large service which includes checking or replacing the timing belt. Can a general idle looseness and a loose feeling to the motor in general be caused by the timing belt, tapers etc

  This car is just so comfortable and economical for its size! Unfortunately now on about one in every 5 starts it runs very roughly at about 600rpm with a strong smell of petrol from the exhaust. It's almost as if not all the cylinders are firing initially. If you switch off and try again it may
