• Saab 9-5 Saloon Diesel Auto 53 plate - Battery drain 14 Mar 2011 (Forum)

• Diesel and heating oil 13 Feb 2010 (Forum)
  I have an oil boiler in my workshop. It has a Bentone oil burner and a small 250 litre tank for the oil. It's nearly run out of oil, but no-one will supply me with less than 1000 litres, plus they're a bit funny about having the tank inspected first for corrosion etc. (it doesn't have any). It says

  I have a Peugeot 206 1.9D which has developed a cold starting issue. The engine cranks ok but take several minutes before it will fire and start. When it does start it seems to run on 2 cylinders until it warms up when it runs ok. The garage have replaced the glow plugs and glow plug relay
• Is tyre pressure that important any more? 30 Dec 2009 (Forum)
  evenly despite being down to around 60% of recommended pressure. I've played around with my own tyre pressures a bit (195/60 x 16) and even running at 10PSI above recommended I've not noticed any difference in economy. I'm reluctant to run them below the recommended pressure, but wonder if anyone's

  Vapour hose and vapour module "frosting" with a gas smell present. The knuckle joint from the module to the hose seemes loose. The switch inside the car on the dash has a few led's. When the petrol pump symbol is on red, it runs on petrol, but when the button is pushed, it changes to 4 green
• BMW 3-Series E91 Touring (2005 - ) - Which tyres give the most comfortable ride? 5 Aug 2009 (Forum)
  I need to buy new run-flat tyres for my car and I wondered if there was anyone in the BR who can give me any advice. The car came with Continentals and when they wore out I put Bridgestones on them. I've found no difference in ride comfort, noise, road holding, but the Bridgestones have lasted

• KIA Cee'd (2007 - 2010) - Did Kia know something we didn't? 4 Apr 2009 (Forum)
  in at 100/1...:-) Underneath the third reason is the wording: Over Becher's Brook. Over The Chair. Run you little beauty, run. You only put a pound on each way. Who cares? You're about to be rich. Did the copywriter fancy Mon Mome or been given a tip? I think we should be told...:-)
• Volkswagen Golf III (1992 - 1997) - 1995 1.4 Engine cuts out after a few miles 31 Oct 2008 (Forum)
  I have a Golf CL petrol single injection. It is sometimes very difficult to start and on other occasions starts straight away and runs very smooth and responds to throttle control. If I take it for a run it is perfect for a few miles and then just cut out and just will not restart, it can be left
• Hyundai i10 (2008 - ) - Hyundai i110 vs Kia Picanto 30 Oct 2008 (Forum)
  Are these ostensibly the same car and if so which is the better car? I am thinking about getting another small run around and want it to be economical, cheap to run and tax efficient. I also want it to have a certain amount of poke that small cars used to have ie feel quick even if they weren't i.e
• Aircon pong 24 Sep 2008 (Forum)
  In recent years I have purchased all my cars with aircon. With advice from HJ and others I run the aircon on a regular basis, even in winter. Usually for de-misting. And run it on full heat to supposedly kill off bugs/bacteria etc. To eradicate the pungent aroma that occurs from time to time, I

  I've just bought a '95 Jeep Cherokee 4.0l Ltd. with an lpg conversion and for the first few days, it has run perfectly. However, it has now started cutting out at every junction and roundabout while on gas but no problems when on petrol. I have to admit I may have accidentally allowed the tank
• Car parking at stations 6 Aug 2008 (Forum)
  I have to park at my local station (Norfolk) to get the train to work. I've just paid to renew annual parking, which is now run by NCP (they have taken it over from the train company, National Express East Anglia). The cost has gone up by nearly 10%! Given the general rise in motoring costs
