• Renault Espace (1997 - 2002) - 2002 2.2 DCi - Power problems. 12 Jan 2008 (Forum)
  I did post on this site a while back regarding my "poorly" Espace (2.2DCi 2002) with the fuel pump/injector problems. The upshot of it all was that I had all 4 injectors replaced at a cost of some £1300! Anyway, recently another problem has raised its ugly head! Namely a loss of power when half
• Petrol Stations 6 Jan 2008 (Forum)
  just want to fill up and go. That is what I go into a petrol station for. Surely you truckers must get irrate at this. No, we have to sit in a queue, sometimes out onto the carriageway until these selfish idiots decide to move on. The only thing that should be sold in these places is fuel. If you want

• Don't want to tax 13 Jan 2007 (Forum)
  Here in the backroom we are constantly moaning about taxes. Congestion tax, fuel duty, road tax and the dreaded taxes for 4X4 etc are all included. It stuck me that we may be able to develop a consensus of what we should not tax, rather than complaining about the new taxes. I will tell you

  a day or so later . Back to the dealer who then tells me, that from the diagnostics it is a fuel pump problem and warns me that it may befuel contamination and if so, it is not covered by the warranty. Somewhat shocked I ask at what cost . The reply was "not too bad, only about £800" I ask him if he
• ? change diesel injectors (Fiat) 4 Oct 2005 (Forum)
  Recently my Fiat Marea Weekend 2.4TD has occasionally started showing the warning light for the injectors. This is a 2.4 litre turbo charged diesel (not common rail) that has done 82,500 miles. My initial reaction has been to add some injection cleaner to a new tank of fuel. For the past few days
• Car immobiliser problem - Honda Prelude 7 Sep 2005 (Forum)
  , there was a "Ford" relay-type thing - It was a small yellow cube connected between the wires of this immobiliser. Taking this all out, the vehicle still refuses to start most of the time. The Prelude is a fuel-injection version (It's a 2.0L fuel injection petrol manual "K" reg) - I'm starting to get the sudden

• Bad diesel???? 24 Aug 2005 (Forum)
  of go at about 75 mph. Unusual because it was always willing to pull well when running at 80 mph earlier in the day. Questions are: Does the premium fuel have anything that could cause this? (unlikely). Is it likely that normally nobody else will pay such an extortionate price in France for diesel
• Focus TDCi injector fault / power loss 29 Apr 2005 (Forum)
  , but after the 2 or so corners / straights or if I'm going at 80 and want to accelerate - nothing there. I thought it was the fabled dodgy fuel pump, but the only fault code we could foind was P1200 - 'faulty injector'. The technician said that he has seen a lot of TDCi's with knackered injectors (they seem
• 1.4 206 HDi mpg and low revs 1 Apr 2005 (Forum)
  over 60mpg so was expecting better from this car, certinaly high 60's on a run! Can I really expect fuel consumption to increase by 10-15mpg as the engine loosens up to start getting even close to the manufacturers figures? Many of my journeys have been long and I have delibertaely tried to keep

• Vectra DTi Starting .. the last straw 23 Mar 2004 (Forum)
  I have a 'W' reg Vectra 2.0 DTi which has had the common problem of not starting if left for a while. Accepted wisdom on this problem is that it is caused by air leaks in the fuel system. This is generally cured by replacing the bleed off pipes, changing the injector seals, replacing the filter
