• Citroen C5 (2001 - 2008) - 01 2.2HDi "declared faults" ! 8 Jun 2015 (Forum)
  (Apologies for the somewhat sketchy info, this is all second-hand and I haven't actually seen the car yet.) [Other faults are the "Anti-Pollution fault" indicating the Eolys fuel additive tank is empty (I've already estimated the refill cost via this forum) and a "replace fuel filter" fault-code that needs to be reset now that the filter has been changed.] I'm going to phone the local independent Citroen specialist on Monday morning, but would appreciate an idea of what's involved before I speak to them.

• Volkswagen Golf 1.4tsi DSG - Economy Mode on Golf 9 Jun 2014 (Forum)
  Just bought a new model Golf DSG - the 122bhp version. I have been trying to work out if there are any significant fuel savings between the 3 modes(economy, normal, sport) and also having the stop/start function enabled. I now now longer do the same regular journeys of a significant length for 'back to back' comparison purposes, but with the limited experiments I have tried there seems to be virtually no difference in fuel consumption between 'economy' and 'normal'.

• Jeep Grand Cherokee - LPG Availability 22 Apr 2013 (Forum)
   If ASDA does carry out this action then it will involve further mileage searching for a garage that offers this fuel. I had my Jeep converted way back when the then Labour Gov were promising all kinds of benefits for this fuel... but like most politicians idea it was another lie. If only we had the same level of LPG availability that Europe has.
