• Peugeot 306 (1993 - 2001) - 98 1.9td engine temp 10 Aug 2008 (Forum)
  Just bought a 1998 306 Turbo diesel. Runs fine, good power but am a bit concerned that the engine temp seems a bit cool. Have looked at forum before and 80 - 85 seems a good temp but mine is running at more like 70 when fully warmed up.. Should this be a cause for concern, should I attend to it would it cause low MPG or anything worse.
• Jogger on roundabout. 10 Aug 2008 (Forum)
  I know that a jogger is effectively a cyclist without a bicycle, but when I'm a pedestrian I'd never dream of re-classifying myself as a vehicle and walking/running in the carriageway, unless there was no footway to use.

• Manual or Electric Oil Extractor? 13 Feb 2007 (Forum)
  Hi, I've seen it recommended here to change your oil using a vacuum oil pump like the pela, and I was looking to buy one when I saw a 12v electric version of these that run from the cig. socket or with croc clips to the battery e.g Draper 73319. The price is roughly the same but I was wondering if it would be detrimental to the car battery to run the pump from it for up to 5 minutes with a current draw of 8 amps and 83 watts with the engine off?

• 1990 Audi 80s Auto Central Locking Failu 3 Dec 2005 (Forum)
  I had an air leek on the fuel flap locking mechanism, now the pump isn't working. My Haynes Manual says if the bi pressure pump unit (located right hand side of boot) runs for 35 secs (which it did) an internal control unit will automatically turn it off. Does Anybody know how to get this system back up and running properly ? Is there anyway of swithing the bi-pressure pump back on ?

• Why be bothered about fuel consumption? 5 Oct 2005 (Forum)
  It seems a lot of people buy a diesel but dont think about either depreciation or cost of servicing, or just other general running costs. Sometimes it appears that people are so set on getting a diesel they dont think about alternative petrol models that might either a) depreciate less or b) cost less to run on other costs.
