• Stop persecuting 4x4 owners. 31 Oct 2006 (Forum)
  These poor people have already willingly saddled themselves with vehicles that are tricky to park and manouvre in busy streets, drink fuel like there's a hole in the tank and handle like barges yet often have less interior space than a medium hatchback. Why add to their woes?

• Tesco's and 5p off a litre 28 Jul 2006 (Forum)
  Well annoyed with Tesco, in that if you should fill up at a TESCO EXTRA STORE, where the fuel is supplied by Esso or whoever, other than obviously by themselves they DO NOT accept the 5p of a litre voucher. Surely if the site is owned and advertised on Tesco's web site as a petrol station they should accept their vouchers.
• American Diesel 22 Jun 2006 (Forum)

• Starting Diesels. 21 Mar 2006 (Forum)
  Recently there have been a number of air leaks on diesel filters/fuel pipes resulting in poor cold starting;I try always to remove the complete filter assy. from the engine when doing this job-it is then easy to see that the filter cartridge and seals are correctly fitted than trying to do this by feel and upside down.

• TD engine chipping 8 Dec 2005 (Forum)
  Has anyone out there tried chipping one of these or adding one of those units that go near to the fuel delivery system? If so, I'd be interested in what performance and economy increases you got and likely costs/insurance issues. Thanks
