  My rev counter and fuel gauge are playing up. The rev counter is sticking at 2000 rpm, and only comes unstuck if I press or tap the plastic screen. And the fuel gauge drops to zero sometimes, and comes back up when I go round corners.

• Old cars, modern fluids. 1 Dec 2009 (Forum)
  To sort out a debate we had in the office today. Are modern fuels and oils beneficial for old cars? If a common pushrod engine from the mid 60?s (Ford Zephyr for example) were to be completely rebuilt as original and then run using synthetic oil and modern fuel (with lead replacement additives if required), would it fare much better now, mile for mile than it would have when it was new?

• Side lights AND head lights? 29 Sep 2009 (Forum)
  Use less power - use less fuel Now that vehicle computers can spot a bulb failure and warn you, should cars etc. be rigged such that when the headlights are on the font side lights aka parking lights go off? The computer could put the relevant side light back on if a headlight bulb failed Situation will presumably change once new cars have to have daytime lights on them But a chance to save fuel has been / is being missed?

• Peugeot 405 Diesel (1988 - 1996) - 95 1.9 Testing stop solenoid on a TD 13 Jun 2009 (Forum)
  I suspect that the replacement stop solenoid I recently fitted is faulty. The car has not started since it was fitted. No fuel reaches the injectors, and I know fuel is reaching the injector pump (Bosch). I have removed the solenoid, and gripped the body in the jaws of a connected -ve jump lead, and when applying +ve to the head there is no noise.
