• CO2, Tax and Tolls 12 Jun 2001 (Forum)
  I would also question the matter of road tolls. With a fuel price of £3.50 per gallon and a car doing 35 mpg, fuel costs 10p per mile, 7.5p of which is tax. I consider that to be quite high enough on its own. I am also miffed about the Dartford Crossing. The tolls should have finished last year when the construction cost had been covered, as agreed with the tunnel's management committee.

• Corsa 1.3 cdti '08 Plate - Problems with Corsa Intermittent starting winter 23 Jan 2019 (Forum)
  Hardly started over november and december (starts around once every week/two weeks). 2 other mechanics had no idea. Just been seen by another, he has told me the following: He pulled fuel pipe away and turned it over and no fuel being pumped (ignition turning over) so he put on a new fuel pump and tested it, still no fuel present so I know it isn't the fuel pump. Can't be engine related as runs fine when it starts apparently.
• Renault Scenic (1999 - 2003) - 02 1.9dti starting problem 27 Oct 2013 (Forum)
  It has all the evidence of fuel running back but i can find no leaks, is it possible for the fly by wire pump to be leaking internal or drawing air through the seal on the input shaft, or could the starter be drawing too much current when the engine is cold so that the electronic pump cant supply enough fuel.
