• The £100 fill up 30 Apr 2008 (Forum)
  Lots of talk lately about the increasing cost of fuel and oil. So how long before it costs £100 to fill your tank up? It seems like everytime I fill one of my cars up I set a new personal record, the one at the weekend set me back £65. I saw diesel at £1.20 the other day, so maybe some owners of diesel cars are already at the £100 mark?

• Now here's a silly question.. 19 Apr 2005 (Forum)
  Is it technically feasible to convert *the same* engine from diesel to petrol or vice versa? ie. with the major components still in situ? The same engine block, pistons, con rods etc. albeit extensive mods to fuel system. Before you laugh yourselfs silly this is a serious question, Now i know it's not practical and costs would be prohibitive but is it possible?
