• running in? 20 Mar 2003 (Forum)
  Anyone read this http://www.mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htm It goes against what owners manuals say and I don't know anyone who runs in (break in as they call it in the US) a new engine by driving it hard. Surely, allowing an engine to bed down gradually is the secret to longevity and reduced

• Does running your tank on empty cause problems ? 24 Jul 2008 (Forum)
  One of the economy tips given recently is keeping your tank low on fuel to save weight. I was telling someone this, and he recounted that famous motoring old wives tale that "running your tank on empty brings the muck out of the bottom of the fuel tank". Whilst I've heard it repeated many times
• Omega 3.0 - running hot 18 Apr 2007 (Forum)
  How often should the cooling fans be running on a manual 3.0 Omega? The fans seem to be on quite a lot. E.g. If driving along at a steady 30 or 40mph and you come to a stop the 3 fans are quite likely to be running and sometimes they're running at high speed. At idle speed the fans cycle, at low

  Dear all, I have a Nissan QX (95) which runs wonderfully until now. It has done 95k miles so I decided to add in some injectors cleaners. I waited until an empty tank, put in 400ml of Forte fuel injector cleaner with about 40 litres of petrol. Then the problem starts. Every morning & first

  Hi My 307 HDI 2.0 90 has an Anti-Pollution fault on screen but not always, it won't start sometimes and runs but kangeroos down the road and cuts out. Looking at the clear fuel pipe after the filter it runs with a lot of air in the pipe. If I pump the primer bulb it clears the air but as soon

• Rear daytime running lights 31 Jul 2023 (Forum)
  Not sure whether this has been discussed before but why are rear daytime running not required by law? How many newish cars do you see without any rear lights on in attrocious driving conditions. Seems like a no brainer to me but there is obviously a reason.

• BMW Run-flat tyres 16 Jan 2010 (Forum)
  Is it possible to replace the Run-flat tyres as fitted on most BMW 5 series, with standard tyres, or are the wheel rims different in some way? And if so, does it improve the ride quality on 17in & 18 in wheels? Have any 5 Series owners any experience of this?
• Run Flat Tyres 31 Mar 2006 (Forum)
  With run flat tyres being a relatively new technology around which the whole car suspension and tracking is designed & set up, does anyone know if runflats were later to be replaced with conventional pneumatic tyres, whether the manufacturers warranty and also the insurance would be invalidated.??????
