• Peugeot 106 (1991 - 2002) - 1998, 1.5, diesel, wont start! 3 Mar 2008 (Forum)
  I changed the glow plug switch(discovered) water in it, hoping that was the problem but no luck. We also noticed that the injector pump was not thrusting any diesel. We replaced it only to encounter the same problems. I have checked all the plugs including glow, which are alighting when i tested them. I do not know how the fuel switch works, as I have pressed but button keeps popping up.

• Mazda CX-5 - Mazda CX-5 - Petrol vs Diesel 2WD 6 Jul 2014 (Forum)

• Euro 4 & Diesel cars 3 Feb 2008 (Forum)
  To quote Screwloose from a thread in technical " I take it that this is a Euro-4 car laden down with all the economy-sapping emissions paraphernalia like an exhaust DPF? There's a lot of similar complaints on all late diesels; they're now only worth driving if you prefer the characteristics. They may now even cost more to run that equivalent petrols. " Personally I love diesel cars, but I can't believ what is happening, EU legislation is trying to cut emissions, but, reduced economy means we actual burn more fuel???
