had this renualt for three days got 42 miles for 15 pounds worth of fuel what is wrong Read more
My tank holds 11.60 gallons. The computer shows 43 mpg. This would give 499 miles. When I fill it to the brim, the computer tells me I have enough fuel for only 405 miles. What is going on? Read more
I,ve never tested the remaining mileage part of my Audi on-board computer, but the MPG is pretty accurate compared to a brim to brim measurement, I'd say within .5mpg.
Many people say they are not afraid of any thing but a lonely walk through woods can be a scary experience for every one. The fact that woods are so lonely and stories of evil spirits at work really get us scared even thought woods are safe.

Car has done 88000 miles which is not bad for its age and has always been regulary serviced. Just recenly the car will start from cold but not once warmed up AA sprayed easy start into air intake and car started first time,been in garage for 2 days now and they cant find the problem plenty of diesel from the pump but it is not getting to the injectors.
There are no blockages within the fuel filter which is new but the car doesn't seem to have any fuel for starting only when running. Can't find any air leaks and or any crimped pipes.... Read more
Get 3 or 4 people to push you and bump start it. If is starts OK then you have a cranking problem, could be low voltage and the fuel cut off if dropping out, an earthing problem or immobiliser. Also possible that a broken earth may be causing electical interference whilst cranking. You ideally need VagCom to monitor the live data whilst starting. This could also be a low output from Hall sender -G40 the crankshasft position sensor. Regards Peter
Hi folks,
A Lexus and Saab (both new) owning friend swears by his local Nationwide Autocentre, after being ripped off by Lexus for servicing (they serviced his car when he took it in for a light bulb change, without asking).... Read more
Had a repair done on the Focus to replace the clutch master cylinder (warranty repair, and NA were the authorised repairer). Took it in at 9am, done at 12.30 (they did not know up to 9am the nature of the fault), job well done and car well presented.
Seemed a decent, efficient service to me.

Re. the article in the HJ colum,n in the Telecgraph date 23 August answering a reader who stood up to aprank callerwanting to work a fiddle about a non-existing accident.
If a prank caller does this can one ring 1471 when they ring off and get their telephone number ? I don't know what to do in that case, but a call to the police might help. Read more
If the "pranksters" are doing this as a serious project for a while, they might be buying a cheap pay-as-you-go mobile to make a few calls on; and then just throw the thing away and get another with a different number
The Clio is a 1.2 51 plate Expression, they've offered me £1700 or £1350 and the car.
It was a no fault accident, someone decided to drive into the side of my car. All the damage is cosmetic.
A large garage has estimated repairs at £1300 so insurers have said it's a write-off. I do not want to keep the car really but equally, if it's restored I know it will sell locally for £2000-£2300 as small cars aren't easy to come by where I live and I've had a quote from a smaller garage to fix it for £700... Read more
There ar different catagories of write off according to the damage, I can't remember what they are but I'm sure someone will be along to tell you. If there is no structural damage it shouldn't be a problem.
If no blame is attached to you, I think you could make them repair it, I can't understand why they would give you £1700 if the repairs are only going to cost £1300 - I would ask if I were you.
Have any other Honest John readers had the same problem as me?

It doesn't sound good but how did you arrive at the figures? Fill tank, drive 42 miles, needed £15 to refill it? On board computer? You will need a longer time and more miles to arrive at a good relaible figure IMO.
