• VW TDI crankshaft problems 10 Sep 2003 (Forum)
  Call dealer inform of problem. they say it may cost to sort but I beg to differ and book car in. Car in - fuel pump timing recalibrated and they inform me that \'sorted under parts warranty\'...hand car back with fuel pump timing recalibrated and seems ok. 1500 miles later same problem (car running gutless and problems starting etc).
• Calling all engineers and web whizzos? 14 Oct 2002 (Forum)
  However, you can only get UNLEADED fuel at a few fuel stations here in the capital, Amman. UNLEADED is simply not available at all outside the capital. So most people just fill up with the 4 star or 2 star that is widely available and cheaper than unleaded to boot.
• All - EV/Hydrogen/Synthetic 19 Jul 2022 (Forum)
  Interesting video, if you’ve got half an hour, breaking down the environmental and financial impacts of the above power sources. It is about 3 months old, so fuel prices are lower than today, but I believe general principles apply. https://youtu.be/HKuKeKeUFTQ
• Jeep Commander - Any experiences of Jeep Commander? 18 Jun 2019 (Forum)
  I’m toying with a Jeep Commander, specifically the 5.7 hemi. Has anyone owned or driven one? I fully expect the fuel to be huge- I’m more interested in size and comfort. Is the Grand Cherokee with the same engine any better?
• Missed service. 4 Jan 2019 (Forum)
  It had escaped my notice that it had done 17k in that time. Anyway it's had an oil and filter plus air and fuel ones too so it's a lesson to me to check interval and mileage.
• 28 Nov 2017 (Forum)
  I 'loved' the comment from the snowflake MK about their Yaris - don't they know how to calculate something as simple as mpg? Don't they realise that when you buy a small car, you get a small fuel tank? Its not as though HJ hasn't given this advice before, or that it can't be found on the interweb through the likes of a Google search.

• Shell V-Power (and other producers) 12 Dec 2012 (Forum)
  There has been quite a bit of disscussion on using these higher octane fuels in cars, but has anybody tried them in bikes? I'm at the start of a small experiment, but had to restart as I refused to pay £1.07 instead of the usual price. Boris

• Vauxhall Astra G Petrol (1998 - 2004) - Exhaust centre box. 21 May 2009 (Forum)
  Would not having a centre box on a Z16XE engine be of any benefit other than the initial savings of not paying for it? How would not having the unit there effect the engine, fuel consumption and performance?

• Diesel Tuning Chip / Unit 26 Jul 2007 (Forum)
  Anyone use anyone of these above before? These are sold on eBay ranging from £100 to £250. Does it work? Will it improve the fuel economy and provide extra power at the same time? How is this achieved? I suspect there will be side effects to the engine, i.e reducing the life of the engine??
• True MPG of real cars... 10 Jul 2007 (Forum)
  This is an interesting website: http://www.spritmonitor.de/en/ It is full of owners data of real MPG rather than fuel computer or manufacturers claims. It's a European site so it is all in l/100km but if you register you can change your settings to imperial.
