• Sheep Time Again!!! 13 Dec 2005 (Forum)
  Seems that some ploker saw the fire on the TV (ignoring the fact that the place doesn't just store gasoline but diesel, kerosene and aviation fuel) and paniced. Sheep mentality set in and others started doing the same. Why? Andy
• Merc S W140 + LPG 26 Nov 2005 (Forum)
  Direct imports from Germany are tempting, the only problem is fuel consumption. I think that all W140 use straight-six engines ? How do they cope with LPG conversion ? We're talking smaller ones, like 280 or 300 (I guess 300 is actually 3.2) ? - - - - - - - I am the only Pole over here.

• Inertia cut-off switch - rover 100 5 Apr 2005 (Forum)
  Does anybody know how I'd reset the fuel cut-off switch after a sudden stop, please? I know where the switch is (under the bonnet, between the battery and the ECU), it seems to have a rubber cover over it. Do I need to prise this cover off or will this damage it?

• "Chipping" and trip computers 17 May 2004 (Forum)
  I have fitted a box from East Coast Racing to my C5, now the trip computer seems optimistic compared to the fuel needle which is approaching 1/4 tank. The last years driving has shown the guage to be deadly accurate.
• Comma D-TOX 10 Dec 2003 (Forum)
  Has anybody used this fuel system cleaner? It is three times the price of any other treatment (Wynns, STP etc.) at the local car store - £14.99, but it is "BMW approved" with a BMW part number! I would welcome any feedback on whether it is any good.

As opposed to more traditional engines, fuel is injected directly into the cylinder, hence the valves aren't cleaned by the fuel. This leads to the seal of the valve being compromised, then lack of performance, rough idling, etc. Two questions of forum members: 1.

• Kia Niro Plug-in Hybrid - Plug in Hybrid - a few real time statistics. 23 Sep 2019 (Forum)
  Seriously though, t am achieving a fill - fill fuel consumption of 98 mpg.overall. Take out the battery running, the HEV consumption is working out at 64mpg. I don't think that is too bad. Just shows the WLTP figures for plug-in hybrids are, at best fictitious, at worst very misleading.
