• Scottish Ferry Road Equivalent Tariff (RET) 26 Dec 2012 (Forum)
  Whilst the HMRC's £8.70/day is comparable with RET's £9/journey, the RET rate/mile is out of all proportion to HMRC's rate/mile and equally out of proportion to the actual cost of running a car . In my book, the RET mileage rate is over 3 times the actual cost of running a car and still heavily penalises both locals and visitors and gives no encouragement to visit the islands for their economic benefit.

• Kia Sportage 2006 CRDI - Odd coolant leak 15 Nov 2012 (Forum)
  I've been keeping an eye on it and I've noticed the following: - The cap seems to work, as when you release it you get some pressure release (much less when fully cold) - When the engine is running and hot, I can't see any coolant leaking - An hour or so later, there is a little bit of coolant showing in the overflow pipe, and if you take off the expansion tank cap you can see coolant around the seal.

• vauxhall corsa sri - maf sensor 18 Aug 2012 (Forum)
  it went back to the garage still coming up with sensor code, so tried another new sensor incase the first was faulty, code wiped etc but no change, sent to electrical engineers they ran through all they could think of, kept wiping the code and re running it, but it left them stumped !! now if you unplug the sensor it runs fine, and the only suggestion the garage has is to change the ecu, but i have read that it could be just a simple re earth of the sensor wire, however my garage are reluctant to do this in case they make things worse, but im not happy to pay out for a new ecu if it is just the earth wire, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, cheers
