Writing in todays motoring section Alex Robbins says there is no empirical evidence to show that Supermarket fuel is inferior.
But a local company that manufactures Spectroscopy equipment have told me that when used to check fuels, the supermarket diesel was found to have less additives. And therefore inferior.... Read more

Yes the CRV is used for towing, but the auto version has a lower towing limit than the manual, it may also have a lower nose weight.

A forum search suggests this hasn't been featured before:
Never seen the point of one of these.
I feel the same way. Nevertheless, I really like the look of the thing....
About 6 weeks ago my focus developed a strange knocking idle with movement coming from the gearbox area my clutch was also high so my local mechanic diagnosed it as a flywheel fault. That week I had a brand new flywheel, clutch, clutch release bearing and slave cylinder fitted. I was expecting the vehicle to feel solid upon its return however this was not the case. The idle has changed to doing it on start up and when sat in traffic however the car shakes a lot worse leaving most of the cabin vibrating, it does this worse when in the drivers seat and it feels coming from directly underneath. I have took the car back and the garage say they don't notice anything alarming but what I describe sounds like a misfire, they took it in a ten Mile run and claims nothing appears to be wrong. I am reading on forums some slightly similar problems I am hearing egr valve , injectors and thrust bearing the most but I don't or possibly won't believe does anybody recommend a good avenue I could go down in diagnosing the fault if anybody has any suggestions or opinions I would much appreciate your thought s thanks. Also the idle stops as soon as I drop the clutch ? Read more
You need to take it to a diesel specialist, they are far more likely to find the problem than a garage.
Not completely sure i'd agree with that..Its all down to the technician working on the vehicle....
The fan on my Fiesta won’t turn off when it gets to the correct temperature. It comes on alright, but I have to switch it off via the ignition, otherwise it keeps running and puts strain on the alternator.... Read more
There is only one temp sensor on these,situated on the end of the cylinder head,above the gearbox.There is no dedicated cooling fan switch.It is controlled via the engine ecu.
Thats my theory out the window then :)...

If there were no signs on the land to deter parking and the owner didn't know who owned the vehicle was he should then have made every reasonable effort to trace them, if unable to do so he should then have attached a notice to it warning that if it wasn't removed within a reasonable specific time, probably 28 days it would be disposed of....

I am with HJ on this one too. Although unscientific my personal experience using branded fuels tell me they work better on all fronts. May not be the case for everyone though.
Good old thrash through this thread though, nearly saw the knuckdusters come out!!...
