Diesel fuel filters - Renault 5 Jul 2005 (Forum)
Since 1996 Renault have extended their change intervals for fuel filters from 18000 to 36000 miles. Is this a result of clean, modern fuels or are they just stretching the interval for the sake of cost ? Can I risk the fuel filter on my 2002 Megane dCi for 36000 mls? I change the oil and filter -

Mondeo Fuel Gauge 27 Jun 2007 (Forum)
Yes, another possible problem. When I bought the Mondeo (1997 2 litre Model) the guy told me he had filled it up with fuel. I now know that he is a habitual liar. The fuel guage reads MAX all the time, even with ignition off. Is the car full of fuel or is it just shorting out causing it to read -

Which fuel? 1 Oct 2006 (Forum)
Hi all, I have just bought a BMW 530i Sport. My cars user handbook says that I should use 98 RON fuel, but that 95 RON fuel can be used. Which do you recommend I use? If there is a proper reason for the use of 98 RON fuel then I will do so, but it seems most odd that the manual states 95
