• Ford S-MAX (2006 - ) - Turning your engine off at traffic lights? 16 Aug 2007 (Forum)
  I?ve often heard that to start a car?s engine requires more fuel than leaving it running at a set of traffic lights for a short while? Is this true? If you have a warm engine, why does it need ?extra? fuel to start it? If this is true, how long would you need to be waiting at the lights before
• Ford - Focus ST170 - Knock from front suspension area. 10 Aug 2007 (Forum)

  The 20 Jan issue of New Scientist has an article on the petrol v/s diesel and its effects on air quality in the UK. It seems that the UK vehicle tax, with its emphasis on carbon dioxide emissions, has encouraged an increase in diesel ownership by 21% by 2005. Diesels engines tend to emit less CO2

• Renault Espace Tailgate Window 31 Jul 2003 (Forum)
  The gas struts have begun to ping off their metal balls when I open the tailgate window. I thought the plastic sockets on the strut ends may have worn so I lashed out £60 on a new pair (you can never just buy the bit that\'s broken, can you?!) only to find that it\'s made no difference. Anyone
• The curse of the cat 2 May 2003 (Forum)
  I blame the wretched catalytic converter for most of the current raft of problems that inflict many of today`s cars, due mainly to the complication of electronic monitoring sensors (E.C.U`s) to control fuel/air ratios. There gas been much discussed recently (and justifiably) about the unreliability
