  • Poor starting Cavalier Diesel 23 Dec 2004 (Forum)
    Things i'm thinking are an air leak somewhere between the turbo and the head, but also could it be drawing air in on a fuel line somewhere, although wouldn't this result in a fuel leak? (i did read on another thread that a chap with a 1.6 diesel cavalier had a chafed fuel line which caused a similar problem) I'm fairly sure its not glow plugs, as its difficult to start when hot too, and also down on power.
  • Nisssan Micra (K10) carburettor problems 27 Sep 2004 (Forum)
    Hi All, I have a J reg Nissan Micra LS 1.0l and until recently has been a wonderfully reliable and economic car. It has been suffering from problems similar to those reported by drivers of the later micras (fuel injection - air mass meter calibration errors) but of course this isnt fuel injected. Basicly for the last month or two, the car has had trouble keeping an idle speed, when stopping at junctions the engine stalls, also when, for example, changing down a gear and accelerating onto a roundabout, it also temporarly tries to stall but then picks back up.

  • Writing to Honda 27 Jul 2005 (Forum)
    I'm very dissatisfied with the fuel consumption of my Accord diesel and I'm inclined to write to Honda saying this. Would other Accord diesel owners do the same thing, so that if Honda were to receive a shoal of such missives they may be inclined to take action?
