• VAT increase 14 May 2010 (Forum)

• Why Miles per Gallon? 4 May 2008 (Forum)

• Running diesels on vegetable oil 22 May 2004 (Forum)
  I've heard that it is possible to run diesel engines on vegetable oil, but that additives are required. What are the additives? Does it affect the engine life? Is the fuel economy as good as it would be on diesel? This is for a Kubota lawn mower.
• Common-rail diesels 9 Sep 2003 (Forum)
  Can we have a brief explanation of why the current generation of c-r diesels no longer need the 5-second warm-up of the previous generation? Is it just the high-pressure fuel, or is there more to it than that? (MM?)

• Petrol level 12 May 2001 (Forum)
  How important is it to keep the amount of petrol in the fuel tank at a reasonably high level, to avoid sludge getting into the system? I normally fill up after the warning light has come on. Is it generally ok to let it get that low?
• Vauxhall Corsa - Lack of Power/Gutless 12 Nov 2012 (Forum)
  I will list everything I have done to date so perhaps you can suggest some ideas! 1. Engine flushed and new oil air and fuel filters, removed the pick-up unit in the fuel tank and cleaned the plastic gauze (although not dirty and the bottom of the fuel tank was clean) siphoned fuel out at the filter head to confirm clear fuel feed to filter.
• Skoda Yeti - EA189 Emissions Update - my experience 2 Apr 2018 (Forum)
  I'd previously only been aware of occasional active regenerations, but following the update, these were occuring every few days. I cover ~20K miles yearly and tend to favour "branded" fuels (Esso / Shell), with the occasional tank of V-Power Nitro+, in an attempt to keep everything clean / ticking over. I'd assumed the worsening fuel economy was a direct consequence of the increased fuel injected to facilitate frequent active regeneration?

• Perodua - Are Perodua still selling in the UK 14 Nov 2008 (Forum)
  Are they still importing to the UK? I thought the Myii would have been a bigger sales success with the current climate for fuel efficent petrol cars.
