• Nissan Primera P12 - Nissan Primera P12 1.8 (2003) cold start dilemma 18 Dec 2013 (Forum)
  to square one I've had it diagnosed, but no faults came up. Reading from the internet, it seems as if a whole range of factors could cause this issue: starter or alternator fault, vacuum leak, faulty fuel return regulator or fuel pump check valve, bad earthing on these models, cold start sensor

  a car which can easily do 600 miles on a single tank of fuel. We both want somethings thats not completely horrible to drive but we are not expecting R32 type of fun. Decent acceleration and ability to cruise at reasonably high speed is essential. Something about VW Golf size is ideal

  it for 400 bp.  Then light came on again and they said fuel pump issues. Replaced it for 200 bp.  Then they tell me that the timing chain needs to be replaced otherwise the engine would breakdown. The replacement engine also had done 20000 miles and was about 2.5 years [just out of warranty]. I
• Lexus 200D versus Lexus CT200h - Is it worth buying a hybrid 11 Jun 2013 (Forum)
  We live in a rural area and have 2 cars : a 1L Yaris for short journeys and a 6 year old Lexus 200D for longer journeys.  We get ~46mpg from the Lexus (on the meter). I am thinking of changing the Lexus for a CT200h but I'm not sure that this will give me any fuel savings
• Ford fiesta W reg - Fiesta won't restart after running. 2 Apr 2013 (Forum)
  fires and turns over a few times and then slowly dies over 2-8 seconds.  The next time I try to start it it turns over a little bit less.  The engine is firing - my gut instint is that there is no fuel getting to the engine, that is what it sounds like to me. If I leave the car for some
• Fiat Panda Multijet 2006 - Suitable fault code reader 3 Jan 2013 (Forum)
  be like a chimpanzee trying to do brain surgery.  On the 60's and 70's vehicles I was brought up on, the most complex electronic component was an SU fuel pump.  But the need for fuel economy and the fact that all the old cars are worn out has forced us to buy a modern one.  I realise

• Volkswagen Golf GT TDi IV Mk 4 - Rough Idle? 1 Jun 2012 (Forum)
  damage to the car. A local garage tried running a electronic diagnostics tool but said he couldn't find the variant of my car on the tool. It didn't help that at the time the car was running properly so he said he wasn't sure what's wrong. Could it be the fuel injectors being faulty? I always get fuel
• Looking for a new (to me) car but with specifics! 27 May 2012 (Forum)
  light needs resetting and the fault in the system repairing, fuel consumption has dropped from mid 50s to early 40s too? And last but not least the turbo is whistling louder than it used to! So I am thinking with that list of getting rid before it becomes a money pit having just spent a few
• Any - Most reliable car/cheapest to run to high mileage? 4 Apr 2012 (Forum)
  I currently drive about 600 miles/week, and it looks like I will be doing so for a couple of years to come. I'm currently running a 2006 Focus TDCi, which although fairly fuel-efficient (50+mpg), running from 60 to 150k miles has so far cost, apart from usual service, tyres etc

  The engine Management light came on and the car went into Limp Mode on my Vectra whilst I was driving it. I took it round to a garage who suspected I had filled up with bad fuel. They changed my Fuel Filter which made no difference. They then told me that my Inlet Manifold needed changing

  .  The agent then replaced the fuel pump - again with no improvement. The problem occurs with the fuel tank full, nearly empty and in between. The car has done around 66,000 km. If the agent keeps replacing parts, eventually I'll have a new car - but I'm hoping that there is a cheaper

  (no receipts) although the service book is fully stamped by independant gararges. The reason i say this is because i have feeling its a fuel problem and can find no evidance of the fuel filter ever being changed. Am i going down the wrong road? maybe something more sinister! :( Any help

  on) came on - its flashing just the once and it feels like I've lost the fuel injection ooooomph factor. Am I safe to drive home or should I call the AA out?
