• Mercedes Benz E-Class W124 Estates - Electrical problem with fuel pump 4 May 2010 (Forum)
  Hello, Can you help? My 1993 280E Estate has an intermittent problem. Every now and then there is no current to the fuel pump. The engine cranks over ok but no start. At other times there is current and the car starts first time and runs perfectly. I've done
• Citroen Xsara Picasso (2000 - 2010) - 01 2.0 HDI Fuel consumption 25 Apr 2009 (Forum)
  The fuel consumption of my 2.0 HDI seams excessive. Best fule consumption I've acheived on a combined cycle (300 miles with aprox 60 non motorway) is about 47 mpg. Typically on the urban cycle it acheives around 42 mpg but more recently that has dropped to 36! It did have a 2 week period last
• BP payouts for fuel mix up 14 Sep 2004 (Forum)
  What does everyone think of the following: BP OFFERING PAYOUTS FOR DRIVERS WHO FILL UP WITH THE WRONG TYPE OF PETROL BP is to offer compensation to drivers who wreck their cars by filling up with the wrong type of fuel at its pumps. The move, which could cost the company tens of thousands
• Diesel Escort 95 Fuel problem 24 Aug 2004 (Forum)
  will start (after a lot of cranking) but stops practically straight away (there is half a tank of fuel). I tried pumping the little button above the fuel filter (I think Richard W gave advice on this before) and instead of being hard, was pumpable for at least 10 seconds. Does this mean there is an air leak
• Magic fuel gauge 22 Mar 2002 (Forum)
  . "Oh that this were true" I thought. [Actually, I muttered Welsh expletives as I felt a bill coming on.] Trip recorder showed I'd done some 200+ miles since last filling the tank, so I knew I had about a third of a tank left. Pulled off motorway to fuel station. Turned off ignition (needle on fuel
• Petrol and Diesel Prices 5 Jul 2023 (Forum)
   So the CMA has at last confirmed that the retail fuel market has in the last few years doubled its profit margins and how quick retailers put up prices and are slow to reduce them.  So what possible good would their recommendation of a "pump watch system" do to help the consumer
• Mazda 3, 2.0 skyactiv petrol, 2015 - Fuel economy- short trips 13 Jun 2022 (Forum)
  We’ve had our car for just over a year, but it’s really poor on fuel on short journeys, if we don’t have a motorway trip on a full tank full then it averages below 25mpg, this is checked by amount of miles to fuel used, not through the cars reading, it’s fully serviced with the correct oil, filters
• Has fuel panic buying started? 15 Oct 2021 (Forum)
  Any signs of panic buying of fuel where you are? I noticed my local Shell filling station had Out-Of-Use signs on half of its fuel nozzles yesterday. Today, on the way back from Southampton, I needed to fill up with petrol. I did see a couple of filling stations with some cars queuing out
• 2005 VW Polo 1.2 - P0172 - Fuel Trim too Rich 1 Feb 2021 (Forum)
  I replaced the catalytic converter two weeks ago, along with the pre and post lambda sensors - the converter had a hole in it so needed doing. Brand new OEM parts were used. The car has been running perfectly since (it was very sluggish and used tons of fuel). I now have error code P0172 coming up
• Peugeot 207 - Fuel Accumulator Access - HELP! 7 Jan 2019 (Forum)
  I have a 2007 Peugeot 207 1.6 Hdi, and I'm doing a rocker cover gasket on it. I have my trusty Haynes manual which has been brilliant, but it says (https://www.dropbox.com/s/oaqxzt6x3t9pbmk/1546799173673753.jpg?dl=0) to remove the high pressure fuel pipes from the common rail (ie
• Nissan Serena 2.3 Diesel - Difficutly getting this vehicle started. 4 Feb 2014 (Forum)
  The vehicle is proving difficult to start after changing the cylinder head. The fuel pump was not allowing fuel through initially. Somehow the imobiliser on the pump had been activated. Overcoming this brought fuel to the pump and it did fire up but still failed to start. Each attempt to start
• Peugeot 407 SW - Fuel guage issues 9 Oct 2013 (Forum)
    I seem to have an issue with my fuel guage. Recently, the car started juddering slightly, and I thought it seemed like it felt short of fuel.  I pulled into a nearby garage and filled up.  Problem was then solved.  The guage was low, but not in the orange when

  I am due to go to France on Saturday. The country is currently suffering turmoil from strikers and there are fuel shortages in some regions. I can get down to the house on a tank of diesel from home in the UK but don't want to get stranded. Given that I have a large tank of heating

• Nissan Qashqai (2007 - ) - Petrol v Diesel - fuel consumption/CO2 discrepancy 14 Jan 2010 (Forum)
  I was just idly looking at some CashCows on autotrader. Looking at 4x4 equipped models, it appears that the 2.0dCi diesel has only slightly better fuel conusumption figures (better by 2mpg on the combined cycle) than the 2.0 petrol. I expected the difference to be greater. Should I have? Also
• Fuel warning light - how much left? 16 Jun 2009 (Forum)
  Obviously the amount of fuel left in the tank when the light/buzzer comes on will vary from car to car, as will the mileage you can squeeze from it. As a rough guide though, how much do you reckon is left when the warning light comes on and how far have you been tempted to push it? Up until now, I
