• The potty world of F1 6 May 2005 (Forum)
  Just when it looks like the sport it getting interesting the FIA decide to attempt to exclude one of the front runners. I don't know the full story but apparently the FIA admitted they were aware of the "concealed" fuel tank, the stewards at the race accepted BAR's logic regarding it's use, so what's to argue?

• Diesel injectors/cleaning additives 10 Nov 2004 (Forum)
  Would anyone be able to offer an informed opinion please: is there a benefit, or is it a con? I mean the variety which you pour into your fuel tank (or others?). I've had two injectors replaced, and am interested in maximising the life of them given the eye-watering cost to replace on this common rail system.
• Rover 100 ECUs 3 Nov 2004 (Forum)
  Does anyone know if this is true and if so can the ECU learn its settings again, or do I need to have it re-programmed? (I need to disconnect the battery for safety reasons when I change the fuel filter)
• James May in Saturday's Torygraph 5 Jun 2004 (Forum)
  Some mass action is needed to bring the government to its senses - and I'm not sure that trying to vote it out will make any difference. The cost of fuel is astronomical, and about the most expensive in the world. I'm willing to hang up my car keys for a few days. Anyone else?
• Anyone own up to this? 12 Feb 2004 (Forum)
  Anyone here one of the 300 people who put the wrong fuel in their vehicle on a daily basis? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/3476815.stm [tic mode on] Maybe should have put this under the "Bring back hanging for ..." thread, get the stupid people out of the gene pool [tic mode off]
• Japanese Diesels-Inefficient/thirsty? 11 Oct 2003 (Forum)
  For some reason Japanese Diesels like the ones for the Primera/Almera have had bad press, not so much for reliability as for the lack of performance and fuel guzzling nature. Is there any real ground to it.I know compared to the French and the Germans , the Japanese diesels pale in comparision , but are they of the "not to be considered" category when looking for a used car?
• Mazda 6 Diesel 25 Apr 2003 (Forum)
  or maybe the new joint ford PSA diesel, or something else. If it is the Ford, does it have the same doddgy injection system and up and down fuel economy like the Mondeo?

• Micra not start after 2 days of non-use 22 Nov 2002 (Forum)

• Diesel Payback Miles 5 Nov 2002 (Forum)
  Diesel cars are more economical then petrol but the cars themselves cost more as well as the fuel. Over what mileage therefore does a new diesel vehicle become a cost effective buy? As a further thought , why are diesel more expensive when the engines are, allegedly, less complicated? Meldrew (I just do not believe it!)
• Running out of diesel 15 Sep 2002 (Forum)
  A question from someone new to diesel..... If a petrol car runs out of fuel I just stick some more in and go. I've heard that a diesel has to be put through a certain procedure; 're-priming' or something like that. Any advice please! I'm thinking of getting an N-reg Mondeo turbo diesel.
