• V70 T5 petrol - Cold start problem 31 Mar 2018 (Forum)
  Engine missing, stuttering and smell of unspent fuel in exhaust when starting from cold especially when damp. Settles down after a minute or two and then runs fine. I have tried Redex fuel system cleaning additive but no improvement. The car is 15 years old with 95K miles on the clock.

• Any - New Shell V-Power Nitro+ 23 Apr 2013 (Forum)
  At the weekend, I was amused to see that Shell is rolling out an updated version of its V-Power premium fuel, called V-Power Nitro+. Unfortunately, it contains no nitromethane, so it will not give your vehicle the performance of a top fuel dragster.  However, it does contain "25% more friction modifier" than its predecessor.

• Conspiracy Theories 12 Jun 2008 (Forum)
  Any BRs have any conspiracy theories to do with motoring ? Having read that many of you are sticking to or below speed limits to conserve fuel and save money;I think fuel price hiking is the perfect big brother tool to get us to obey speed limits, so controlling traffic flows,without the government forking out for expensive road building, or satellite monitoring.

  I have to change the fuel filter which seem to be an easy job but before I start does anyone know if there is a pressure release valve for the fuel system -if so where might it be - I have checked all round engine bay but anyone who has looked in one of these will realise it's like looking for a needle in haystack.

• Pipelinecard.org 24 Mar 2006 (Forum)
  Anyone heard of this organisation? The organiser, Ben Scammell, claims to be campaigning for a fuel discount card for ordinary motorists but needs a minimum number before the fuel suppliers will listen. Apparently Pipeline already have over 280,000 members and need around 400,000. Registration takes place online, it?

• getting better MPG. 6 Jul 2004 (Forum)
  In a climate of ever increasing fuel costs, what are the best ways to extract as many MPG as you can out of your cars? Is there any truth in better MPG when you drive around with windows shut or never having a full fuel tank? I know switching off a/c and never driving with a roof rack helps but anyone got any other tips?
• An amazing gismo? 13 Jul 2003 (Forum)
  Just been sent a spam e-mail advertising this fantastic gadget. You clip it on to your fuel line and it reduces fuel consumption by 27%, emissions by 43% and increases torque! Probably makes tea and receives faxes too I shouldn\'t wonder. http://www.bestchoicefuel.org/default.asp? axel=4090 Is this the total scam I think it is or has motoring science moved on in leaps and bounds?
