• Owning a diesel auto - how it feels? 22 Mar 2010 (Forum)
  Do I need to put in 2 or L while going up/down hill? Though my usage will be mostly long trips but on some occassions, the car will run less than 5 miles on a single trip (i.e weekend shopping etc.) Will that be harmful for the engine? Any other advise?

• Toyota RAV-4 (1994 - 2000) - 00 2.0 Poor mpg 26 Jan 2010 (Forum)
  The engine management light has always been on since I took ownership, previous owner said that it has been on for years and at the last service the mechanic said that it related to a small problem with a heating fan running but don't know if that would warrant the engine management light being on? Anyway, really dissapointed with the mpg so wondering how much Toyota will fleece me to run diagnistics to determine if there is a problem that would affect fuel consumption?

• Volvo S40 (2004 - ) - 06 2.0 Starting problem 20 Oct 2009 (Forum)
  These initially were rare and merely inconvenient, but got progressively worse. As the warranty was about to run out I booked the car into the local Volvo garage. Initially it had a software download, which failed to cure the problem, then a new ignition switch, which was similarly unhelpful. The car then would not start at all, and was towed to the garage, outside warranty.
