    Will be getting a fuel card with my new job and will change my (personal) car to something with a MUCH lower CO2 number to minimise the BIK hit. I want to stay with petrol and have found that several companies now do a 1.4 turbo petrol with 120-140 ish horses in an Astra/Focus/Golf sized car

    I went to change the glow plugs on my 1998 1.9 TDi 406 and could not believe how difficult it was! The plugs are burried under a mass of pipes and stuff. I've managed to change the two passenger side plugs, but I have no chance of getting at the other two without taking out the fuel injection

  • What car for me? 9 Jan 2010 (Forum)
    Hi guys, I drive an '01 Picasso 1.6 petrol and LOVE the spacious interior. Sick of fuel prices and sick of road tax prices. I like the 62mpg of the diesel Nemo, it also cost 35 quid a year to tax it, also it seems to be another spacious beast. At around the ten grand mark for an ex demo model what

    I am considering buying either Kia Sportage / Hyundai Tucson (new or upto a couple of years old) with the diesel engine option. Does anyone know if they have any major faults? I believe that the common rail fuel system is from Bosch. Does anyone know if it has a DPF (it is Euro IV)? I believe

    Saw an advert in one of the Sunday mags introducing the new Peugeot 4007, the company's first 4x4. Looks very aggressive with it's big shark mouth grille. Advert says it uses more fuel in 2wd. To my eye it makes a Ssangyong Musso look cute. 19inch alloys with low profile tyres...not for off
