Clio Mk2 Phase 1 - 2001 - Clio No power to fuel pump - Fuse? Relay? Diagram? 2 Sep 2024 (Forum)
someone else tried to start it but failed. I went to the car and found no fuel getting to the injectors, then found no power at the fuel pump. I did not have any cable so could not send power to the pump to see if that resolved the issue. I plan to do that next time I go the car -

After some advice on a 307 likely fuel pump failure. Had a total loss of power and now car won't start, AA recovery guy did some tests on voltage, fuse etc to the low pressure pump and that all looks ok but when removing the fuel pipe feed to filter there was no fuel being fed from the tank. His -

NCAP, safety, smart motorways and safest fuel? 11 Jul 2021 (Forum)
an electric car would be any better either, if the fragile lithium battery in a mobile phone can ignite when bent under an airline seat. Maybe diesel is the safest fuel? My brother’s diesel fuel line split, spilling diesel over a hot exhaust. No problem, switch off engine, fix hose -

LPG Problems 14 Dec 2014 (Forum)
. The local main Vauxhall dealer could find no obvious problem but replaced the LPG distributor under warranty with no quibbles and this appeared to cure the problem... until now. After a further 24,000 miles the same fault has developed with exactly the same consequences. If LPG is such a clean fuel, why -

Fuel price thread 25 Feb 2013 (Forum)
Many apologies to Barney100 and others who tried to have a sensible discussion on fuel prices; but the thread descended into abuse, with the words 'racist', 'bigot' and 'moron' being used. Once again, the reason was that someone brought up the subject of immigration. I considered -
