My girlfriend drives a Vauxhall Astra V reg and she has had this problem since she had the car. If the tank is filled up, the garage pump doesn't automatically stop when the tank is full, instead floods the forecourt.
Does anyone have an idea as to what the cause could be? I'm suspecting its something to do with a gasket or grommet that has perished, but I don't know Vauxhall cars. Read more

Natural gas from shale powering all terrestial forms of transport is coming. The US is a leader already in this innovation and market so we better get our finger out over here. Yesterday the Government lifted the ban on fracking - not too soon - while France maintains it's ban...good. That gives us an edge and a chance to kick start the economy.
The howls of protest are all over the media and airwaves. 5 Live this morning was taken over by the nay sayers and one woman broke into tears causing Nicky Cambell to check later - playing samaritan - that she was alright, . What a lot of tripe.... Read more
Yes, LIQUID petroleum gas. Propane/butane mixture easily condenses under mild pressure to give a high energy density.
Natural gas is mainly Methane. You can compress it, but not to the density of a liquid. And the tank has to be very strong, so it's heavy....
This applies to all T5 based vehicles

I live in Germany were there are millions of the these vehicles in every form and I have never heard in any of the motoring magazines or from the ADAC of any problem with tyres let alone bent chassis. It would be interesting if you could forward further details of the tyres .

Can anyone recommend a dignostic reader for the 1.3 CDTi Corsa. This has a Fiat Engine. Read more
I would have thought that a chinese op-com is the best affordable diagnostic. When I bought mine it was widely available on the auction sites and since then it has been invaluable.
burnt out at 40,000m. all my previous cars have done over twice this and still been o.k.when sold on. I have recently swapped a second car, a 7 year old MX5 with 115,000m. on original clutch. But honda insist its the way I drive. The CRV is mainly used for long runs and I use the cruise control as often as I can also the acel/decel buttons which is the first car I have had this device on. Is there any way that my use or overuse of cc, or any other cause can bring about the early demise of said clutch. Repairing dealer can`t find fault with hydraulics. Read more
I`ve already requested all parts that are removed, but I have a feeling all they are going to show is a burnt out clutch
Hi all.
Just looking for a little advice. I have nearly always owned a Ford. My first car was a Volvo S40, but since then every car I have had has been a Ford. From Petrol V6s to my current TDCi Diesel.... Read more

It's nonsense isn't it? I remember as a lad going out to play straight after breakfast and another drop of liquid wouldn't pass my lips until 5-6pm when I came home from my day of adventure - it didn't do me any harm! People humping their own water supply around as if they are on expedition - just to go to work - makes me laugh out loud!
