• Can anyone remind me... 13 Aug 2009 (Forum)
  formulae was for beating-down the purchase price of a new motor was: RRP; less VAT (15%); less any Registration/Admin Fee(?); less the number you first thought of... ...also to include: a tank of fuel; mats; expensive gift from the 'boutique' for Her Indoors (only joking). Going in on Friday to (hopefully) do some serious negotiating, gulp! Best...

  This is a lot easier than constantly engaging the clutch in 1st. Is this detrimental to the car or fuel economy in any way?
• 7 Seater MPV Owner experiences 28 Apr 2009 (Forum)
  Would appreciate if owners of the above MPV can shed any light on the pros and cons of these two cars. I am going more in the favour of the reliability of the Honda but wary of the fuel consumption ie 2.3 Auto engine, as will be used for the typical school runs etc. Comment much appreciated.

  I can live with this but does this sensor also tell the ECU what the outside temperature is and this affects the fuel/air flow ratio?

  Is doing such a thing really beneficial and under what circumstances should it done? How exactly should such a procedure be performed and for how long? Or is it just a waste of fuel and a strain on the cambelt and what about all the gunge that ends up in the sump!

• Petrol into diesel don't go... 16 Nov 2008 (Forum)

In a nutshell ? what happens next: Rescue service hotline activated? Complete flushing of fuel system necessary? Likely cost of this bleary-eyed/early morning mistake? It wasn't me I assure you ? merely a sympathetic observer...
