  As a converted diesel user could someone explain why on new family sized cars the turbo-diesel car costs approx. £1000 more than the petrol equivalent. Also why are we the only Country in Europe where diesel fuel costs more than petrol.

• Compression check 8 Nov 2001 (Forum)
  How can a compression check be carried out on a car fitted with a catalytic converter? I know you simply remove a spark plug, screw in the meter and turn the engine over but surely this can damage the cat as unburnt fuel is blown out of combustion chamber and into the exhaust?

• All - EV/Hydrogen/Synthetic 19 Jul 2022 (Forum)
  Interesting video, if you’ve got half an hour, breaking down the environmental and financial impacts of the above power sources. It is about 3 months old, so fuel prices are lower than today, but I believe general principles apply. https://youtu.be/HKuKeKeUFTQ

• Missed service. 4 Jan 2019 (Forum)
  SWMBO's V70 2008 had a service last January and I booked it in as you do. It had escaped my notice that it had done 17k in that time. Anyway it's had an oil and filter plus air and fuel ones too so it's a lesson to me to check interval and mileage.
