• Peugeot Partner - diesel filter location 2 Oct 2010 (Forum)
  Hi silly question for some but i am going to do my own service on our 2007 peugeot partner 1.6 hdi, just wanted to know the location of the fuel filter as the one i bought is quite big but i cannot see it on the car anywhere?.

• Can anyone remind me... 13 Aug 2009 (Forum)
  formulae was for beating-down the purchase price of a new motor was: RRP; less VAT (15%); less any Registration/Admin Fee(?); less the number you first thought of... ...also to include: a tank of fuel; mats; expensive gift from the 'boutique' for Her Indoors (only joking). Going in on Friday to (hopefully) do some serious negotiating, gulp! Best...
• Ford Focus (1998 - 2004) - 02 1.8 Rolling in neutral 5 May 2009 (Forum)
  This is a lot easier than constantly engaging the clutch in 1st. Is this detrimental to the car or fuel economy in any way?
• 7 Seater MPV Owner experiences 28 Apr 2009 (Forum)
  Would appreciate if owners of the above MPV can shed any light on the pros and cons of these two cars. I am going more in the favour of the reliability of the Honda but wary of the fuel consumption ie 2.3 Auto engine, as will be used for the typical school runs etc. Comment much appreciated.

  I can live with this but does this sensor also tell the ECU what the outside temperature is and this affects the fuel/air flow ratio?
• How to perform an 'Italian tune-up?' 12 Feb 2009 (Forum)
  Is doing such a thing really beneficial and under what circumstances should it done? How exactly should such a procedure be performed and for how long? Or is it just a waste of fuel and a strain on the cambelt and what about all the gunge that ends up in the sump!

• Petrol into diesel don't go... 16 Nov 2008 (Forum)
  Pity the poor gentleman causing M25 proportions tailback chaos on my local Tesco forecourt this morning by having accidently put two litres of unleaded into his diesel A2! In a nutshell ? what happens next: Rescue service hotline activated? Complete flushing of fuel system necessary? Likely cost of this bleary-eyed/early morning mistake? It wasn't me I assure you ? merely a sympathetic observer...

  I have just bought a Micra 1.2 07 Reg. 7000 miles, still under warranty. Lovely! but the throttle began to catch, then suddenly kick in, as if fuel wasn't reaching one cylinder, at any revs or in any gear. Then the orange malfunction light came on and stayed on. Any ideas? moved into a standalone post

  I've got a very odd electrical problem on my 306. If I turn the ignition on, all the gauges are normal. When I turn the steering wheel, the fuel, temp, rev and speedo needles all move or jump. It can also cause the engine to misfire and cut out. Has anyone any advice on what could be causing it? Thanks
