• 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?

  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.

  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.

• Petrol price - - are major supermarkets now a cartel? 2 Apr 2022 (Forum)
  There is a Shell garage on the A43 just south of Kettering which for ages has priced its fuel around 10p per litre above that of the local supermarkets.  Today I bought E10 there at 155.9 per litre, having seen a price of 166.9 at Morrisons and Asda, which were usually the cheapest. Are they in cahoots profiteering?

• Why do direct injection petrol engines get carbon 27 Feb 2019 (Forum)
  I've read that normal petrol engines are OK as the petrol acts as a solvent on the way into the cylinder and cleans deposits away. As diesel is a 'sooty' fuel anyway and diesels have been direct injection for ages, why don't they get the same problem?

• Citroen C Zero - All electric cars 13 Nov 2015 (Forum)
  Most cars give fuel consumption  figures l/km of mpg but the manufacturers of electric engined cars do not. Why should there not be a miles/kwh consumption figure. If you are proposing to buy an electric car why should you not know or have some idea of how much it will cost to run?
