• Fiesta rs turbo problems 11 Apr 2003 (Forum)
  Hi, i have just bought a fiesta rs turbo and it was running fine till the other day. i was sitting on the carriageway and it started to give a misfire when i put my foot down. i got it home and left it over night. now if i start it up it runs for about 2 minutes then just cuts out .... if i drive it, and put my foot down to quickly i get a bad misfire and the car seems to kick back. if i am gentle with the pedal i can get some boost off the turbo but if im too hasty it just shakes and kicks back. if i'm pullling away from junctions i have to give it high revs and pull away on the clutch or it stalls. i took it to a mechanic, he changed the fuel filter as it was full of dirt, and he said the pipe to it was kinked. i dont know where to start with it really so if anyone has any suggestions i would be reall grateful. someone suggested to me it could be the fuel pump?
• Who should get the second car? 4 Feb 2003 (Forum)
  Now, my inital plan was for her to take over our current car - R-reg Rover 200 - and for me to get a diesel, so as to save fuel costs. However, following the ingenious method Honest John suggested, I have now measured the fuel consumption on the Rover, and it is giving 39.9, which is pretty good. I suspect I won't save that much money by switching to diesel, and that perhaps better value would be to buy a second petrol car for herself.

• Nissan Customer Care 3 Sep 2001 (Forum)
  Since then I have noticed a 5% increase in fuel efficiency - a good result all round! On the other side of the coin - my dad's 96P Ford Fiesta has had over £400 worth of suspension repair carried out recently, on a car which has done less than half the milage than mine!

• Any - Six forward gears manuals 31 Oct 2015 (Forum)
  I've noticed a number of cars now have six forward gears.  I expect this is to do with fuel efficiency. However, does it affect driving style ? Is it O.K. just to use five of the gears ? Any increase in running costs ?
• Any - Road surface and consumption 27 Oct 2015 (Forum)
  Does anyone know of any evidence that different surfaces (e.g.tarmac or concrete) affect fuel consumption?  The level of road noise certainly varies, suggesting that at least some energy is lost as sound.  That might suggest that the recent 'quiet' tarmac could improve consumption marginally.
