• Fuel Shortages to come ? 31 Jan 2009 (Forum)
  . Unions said the contract should have been given to British workers. In a second day of action, 800 people protested outside the refinery as workers from other sites joined in.'.

• Pleasing fuel consumption 19 Oct 2008 (Forum)
  get in anyone's way, either. I reckon 50mpg is pretty good for a car that pulls pretty well if you give it some wellie. There's a few people on here who are unhappy with their car's fuel consumption. Are there any others - like me - who are quite pleased with the mileage they are getting?

• Vauxhall Astra G Diesel (1998 - 2004) - 02 2.0 ECU/Fuel Pump 4 May 2008 (Forum)
  When my Astra (2.0 tdi 2002) warms up the rev needle drops to zero and it starts idling. A diagnostic check later and one mechanic claims that the fuel pump needs replacing as does the ECU and another says its the ECU and faulty speed sensor. The total cost of repair (from each mechanic) is about
• Concerns over Fuel Pricing 25 Jan 2008 (Forum)
  I am sure like many others I have watched with concern at the seemingly endless increase in the cost of fuel at the pumps. It is easy to point the finger at individuals profiteering or the Government choosing to bail out ailing banks rather than help out its hard pressed tax payers. At the height

  My escort recently ran out of fuel (I know I'm an idiot!!). I have followed all the instructions in the Haynes manual and now the car will only start if the primer pump is rapidly compressed. The engine will then run for maybe 30 secs to 1 minute then it shuts down. There is no air at all
• 98 A4 Audi Fuel starvation at speed 13 Aug 2006 (Forum)
  I got a 98 petrol Audi A4 recently and it was fine at low speeds and around town, but when I took it on the motorway and tried to increase the speed or the revs go above 2500 the car lurches as if it has fuel starvation.

• Renault 19 fuel gauge 21 Jun 2006 (Forum)
  Hi, for some time I have been very suspisious of the fuel gauge, as I have been convinced that it is under reading, so yesterday when the gauge showed to be just above reserve I put in approx 27 litres and the gauge settled to just bellow 1/4. Both the handbook that came with the car and the haynes
• Poor fuel economy 1.6 primera 1 Jun 2006 (Forum)
  it is guzzling more fuel than my skyline so there is something clearly wrong with it. Are the petrol gauges in these known to be dicky? He is judging by the gauge at the moment as one of the possibilities is of course a leak so sticking in 10 gallons seems slightly risky :0-) teabelly

  Anyone else had this problem with their diesel LagunaII? Intermittant 'Fault in Fuel injection' message, car refuses to go over 2,200 rpm. Fault clears if you stop and restart engine (not too feasible in outside lane!). 'Air valve' and 'solenoid' have been changed under warranty, car going back
• Primera - petrol fumes 19 Apr 2002 (Forum)
  our 96 1.6 primera develops petrol fumes in and around the car but only when the fuel tank is less than half full and the engine is hot. With a full tank there is no smell. I have checked for leaks and found nothing, with or without the engine running. I have noticed that there are two pipes
• super unleaded fuel 2 Mar 2002 (Forum)
  single point injection 1.3 Mini Cooper? I realise the engine is basically a 40 year old design with modern fuel injection and because of this I am reluctant to try it; however I would still be interested to know. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
