• Toyota Landcruiser 80 Amazon (1990 to 1998) - 1993 4.2TD Fungus in diesel tank 15 Dec 2008 (Forum)
  As this car doesn't get used much, how do I keep the fuel tank/lines etc dry and stop fungus (or whatever it's called) from growing? It's kept in a cold garage with lot's of condensation. I give it some Millers every so often (for what it's worth), but not sure if this will help to keep it dry etc.
• Peugeot 306 (1993 - 2001) - 00 2.0 HDi Cold start issues. 4 Dec 2008 (Forum)
  Hi, i need some advice. Recently my peugeot 306 HDi has had an odd issue on cold starts. It starts fine, but it runs very rough for a couple of seconds before settling on a normal idle. I'm not sure what could causing this, glow plugs, air in fuel system, battery? Any advice would be much

  During re-generation,with particulate filter equipped diesels, do injectors really blast fuel into the cylinders on the exhaust stroke, wetting bores and contaminating oil? Or is there a separate injector just upstream of the DPF? Is there a better engineering solution to cleaning a particulate

• Franchise servicing 18 Sep 2008 (Forum)
  dealership could not hold a monopoly on servicing, making it fairer all round. It appears they have retracted this decision. Not only will this decision close many independent garages and fuel the dole queue but also mean the sale of sub standard pirate parts.

  Does anybody know or can anyone provide me with a link to where I can find the service schedule for a 2003 model Vauxhall Corsa 1.2 SXi. I am thinking of the mileage interval that Vauxhall recommend for things like spark plugs, air filter, fuel filter etc. The mileage for the oil & oil filter

  right i'm dealing with this bravo 1.2 16v which when you put your foot down the revs pic up but nothing realy happens, i'm thinking something along the lines of throttle possitioning sensor or a blocked fuel filter, but i can't seem to find it, the engine manegment flashes for a while but eventualy
• 4k to spend on weekend/fun car 16 Jun 2008 (Forum)
  Looking at spending around 4k on a car. It will only be used at weekends and will probably only do about 3,000 miles per year. Reliability is important and i dont want to be speing a fortune on tax (they have enough of my money as it is!) so maybe a pre 03/01 model. Not to bothered about fuel

  Hello, I've been reading a lot of information on turbo failures on cars like BMW 320D models. Just wondering is there any maintenance that needs to be carried out on turbos besides the normal oil, oil filter & fuel & air filter change. My passat has 170,000 miles on the clock and I'd like

• Missing engine 10 May 2008 (Forum)
  difference. The Ti-Vct also used less fuel, so it seemed to be a winner all round. For those interested, Ti-Vct stands (stood?) for twin independent variable camshaft timing.
• Vauxhall Omega (1994 - 2003) - '97 2.5 TD Auto - faltering/stalling 10 Apr 2008 (Forum)
  Good evening one and all I'm considering bidding on this vehicle but it suffers from, as the seller puts it, faltering and occasional stalling. He has changed the fuel filter but to no avail. Any clues folks? Is it likely to cost me a packet to put right? More details on the car here: http
• Mercedes Benz E-Class W211 (2002 - 2009) - Why Merc E-Class as a taxi 4 Mar 2008 (Forum)
  There may be a simple answer to this, but why are E-Class Merc's still so common as Taxis in so many countries? I don't think I've ever seen a BMW 5 series Taxi, but they have more room in the back, similar sized boots and better fuel economy, am I missing something?
