• Toyota Corolla 1997- 2001 - ECU and learning 22 Jul 2013 (Forum)

• What does diesel do to tarmac? 10 Nov 2011 (Forum)
  A3(M) was closed yesterday afternoon/evening due to a broken down lorry and fuel spillage and at midnight the workman were out resurfacing the road. So, what does diesel do to a road surface requiring it to be relaid? Does it dissolve it? Is it absorbed into the surface with the risk of it floating to the surface when it rains?

• Morrison's Biodiesel B30 29 Sep 2009 (Forum)
  This is mentioned in FAQ but the link to the supermarket website is defunct. So, have any more manufacturers (especially VW Group) given ther "approval" to this blended bio fuel? It is hinted elsewhere that some 100% biofuels are OK but why the problem with the 30% blend? All diesels are a 5% blend now anyway by EU edict AFAIK.
