    Can anyone recommend a website where you can easily compare vehicle specifications e.g. Insurance group, fuel consumption, legroom etc without having to jump between pages?
  • Lexus RX300 2002 19 Nov 2004 (Forum)
    Apart from fuel consumption - are there any other negatives on this car? If you run one, or know someone who does, any comments would be of interest.

  • The emissions fix caused an EGR fault with my Volkswagen Golf 1.6 TDI - should I push for a FoC repair? 8 Mar 2017 (Ask HJ)

  • Land Rover Defender 110 - Experts 17 Aug 2025 (Forum)
    I have a guy working with me at the moment, he drives a Defender with (I believe) the 300tdi engine.  Yesterday, it sprung a fuel leak just as he arrived - diagnosed as a problem with fuel lift pump.  He got a replacement and set about fitting it today.   After a lot of arguing with an almost completely inaccessible bolt, he eventually got it swapped over and went to start it.
  • Ford fiesta zetec - Car juddering at low speed 23 Feb 2021 (Forum)
    She doesn't appear to be losing power but I wouldn't 100% know as I've only just started to drive her. She has had new fuel and a fuel filter and have done roughly 150miles so old fuel should be gone. I've added redex as well. I've just changed the spark plugs and still no change. Tomorrow will be the ignition leads and then coil pack.
  • Stanley Meyer 19 Feb 2021 (Forum)
        “Many people do not realize that when you run a car or truck on gasoline of diesel fuel, you are actually running it on hydrogen. And all we are doing is using the hydrogen from water. And under the National Bureau of Standards figures shows that when you use water, the energy release is roughly two and a half times more powerful then that of gasoline.
  • SU carb problem - Triumph Bonneville 11 May 2020 (Forum)
    Recently while out on a run (after 15 miles or so, engine nice and warm) it suddenly started cutting out on idle, and when I investigated further I saw fuel gushing out of the float chamber breather hole. Panic! I managed to get home safely by using the fuel tank tap to throttle the fuel entering the float chamber to match consumption, but now I have a problem to fix.
  • Can I do anything to improve the fuel economy after the emission update? 1 Jun 2017 (Ask HJ)
