• LPG 15 Jun 2005 (Forum)
  With fuel prices as they are, why are there so few cars that can run on LPG? I know conversions are available on many but there are very few new cars that are bi-fuel.

• Fiat Doblo Cargo - Smoking when cold 10 Apr 2023 (Forum)
  There are no fault codes showing. - Gasket heard tested and fine - EGR valve cleaned thoroughly after it was running at above suggested pressure % on mechanics computer. - Full service done including changing the fuel filter. - Went to a diesel specialist who told me all the injectors where fine at the time and lots of Doblos do that. - The latest guy (deals in cleaning of EGRs etc) suggested an injector could well need changed (as when running he had his computer on it and one of the cylinders was running at 2.8-3.2ish whilst the others at small deficits of around -0.1 (I’m not mechanically minded so not sure what that measures.)
• Range Rover P38, 1995, Manual Diesel - Range Rover P38 - Diesel not starting/running 6 Nov 2019 (Forum)
  Evening All, I have the above vehicle as a project car and I am experiencing issues with starting and running the engine. It started with rough idling, loss of power then cutting out and refusing to start. It is a complicated tail and have posted on specialist forum but not really got a definitive guide on what to do next.
• Audi A6 Avant - Suggest a car- estate/crossover/SUV - maybe A6? 18 Oct 2016 (Forum)
  Obviously these cars were not cheap to buy when new, and in my experience if you aren't careful repair costs can be vastly different compared to the cost of running a Mondeo. I will be the main driver but my wife might potentially need to take it to work one day. I intend to keep the car for a fair time and run it to high mileage- I see that there are legions of Audis with staggering miles on them on Autotrader so I can only assume they are capable of it.
• Peugeot 307 110 HDI 54 plate/88K miles - Oil in the Turbo 1 Feb 2011 (Forum)
  IS the turbo (seals) likely to fail??  Some opinions/suggestions welcome. Q3.  What caused it to run so rough??  The oil in the turbo or the oil leak?? The car is running like a dream again. :-)  It's been a long time since it ran so well.  Very happy.
• Vectra 2.0 Di sluggish from cold, please help 6 Mar 2002 (Forum)
  Some mornings when starting the car it will drive very (and I mean very) sluggishly for the first few miles - very much like you'd imagine the car to run if it had no turbo and twice the weight. This seemed to go away after a few miles until one morning when it resulted in the car stalling when doing 70 on the motorway and failing to restart. The AA were called and they suggested I'd run out of fuel.
• MOT advisories 6 Jul 2018 (Forum)
  I'm no mechanic but that does not seem odd to me. An engine which run very low on oil, or out completely, could seize. This in turn could cause an accident.
