• Renault - 1.5dci common rail engines and cetane boosters 29 Nov 2007 (Forum)
  I run two vehicles with 1.5dci engines and am interested in the long term effects of using cetane boosters such as Millers or premium fuels which also claim to have a higher cetane rating. Is any benefit short term as in it's great for a few k then the engine will suffer from premature wear
• Ford Galaxy (1995 - 2006) - 01 1.9 TDi, cooling fan won't stop 17 Nov 2007 (Forum)
  The cooling fan just keeps running even when the engine is shut off and will keep going until the battery is flat. I suspect a stuck thermal switch somewhere from my experience with previous cars. I've just got the Galaxy so I'm not familiar with its systems. The model is 1.9 TDI year 2001.
• FIAT Punto (1994 - 1999) - Clutch judder in cold damp weather 16 Nov 2007 (Forum)
  Our faithful Punto has been in the family from new and has now done 55K. I wonder if any Backroomers can provide a scientific explanation as to why we have always noticed quite a marked clutch judder when taking up 1st gear when the weather turns cold and damp. It disappears after running the car

• End a PCP early? 30 Aug 2007 (Forum)
  My daughter has a PCP, it's been running for 16 months out of 36, and she's just on the good (lower) side of the target mileage at 18K. Now she's considering getting rid of the high fixed costs it represents, but is there a good way to get out of PCP's? I suspect it will not be worth her while

• New car advice 1 Aug 2007 (Forum)
  Good morning, I am looking to buy a new small car to be shared between my 3 sons (ages 19-23). It is going to have to be capable of long journeys as 2 are at uni in Scotland. On top of that safety and running costs are important priorities. My initial thought was for a 5 door Fiesta 1.25 zetec

  We're considering (only considering) buying a house which has a road running past the bottom fence. At the edge of the road is a layby (which might at one time have been a bus stop) and at the moment there are two cars for sale on it. We're concerned that this practice might cause a nuisance

  Received a letter from Shell Visa (changing from Royal Bank to Citi Bank) in August time. Part of new Offering to Shell Card Holders is Free Car Legal Cover - I pay nearly £20 for each car so this represents £40 saving - not a lot in running a car but a "fill-up for nothing" beats a poke

  More for your amusement than anything else: I am driving my jalopy today, a 106. Took it to put some petrol in, started putting diesel in it (normally drive a vRS Fabia).
