• CO2, Tax and Tolls 12 Jun 2001 (Forum)
  I would also question the matter of road tolls. With a fuel price of £3.50 per gallon and a car doing 35 mpg, fuel costs 10p per mile, 7.5p of which is tax. I consider that to be quite high enough on its own. I am also miffed about the Dartford Crossing. The tolls should have finished last year when the construction cost had been covered, as agreed with the tunnel's management committee.

• Corsa 1.3 cdti '08 Plate - Problems with Corsa Intermittent starting winter 23 Jan 2019 (Forum)
  Hardly started over november and december (starts around once every week/two weeks). 2 other mechanics had no idea. Just been seen by another, he has told me the following: He pulled fuel pipe away and turned it over and no fuel being pumped (ignition turning over) so he put on a new fuel pump and tested it, still no fuel present so I know it isn't the fuel pump. Can't be engine related as runs fine when it starts apparently.
• Renault Scenic (1999 - 2003) - 02 1.9dti starting problem 27 Oct 2013 (Forum)
  It has all the evidence of fuel running back but i can find no leaks, is it possible for the fly by wire pump to be leaking internal or drawing air through the seal on the input shaft, or could the starter be drawing too much current when the engine is cold so that the electronic pump cant supply enough fuel.
• Luxury German Make / 4 seat cabriolet - Breakdown 1 hour/ 50 miles after purchase 20 Oct 2013 (Forum)
    The main dealer believe the problem is contaminated fuel, but can not confirm whether this was the small amount of fuel in the car when purchased or the fuel I put in immediately after purchase (I put in the correct fuel and the receipt to prove it).   They now say it is not a warranty issue due to it being a result of outside interference and so want to charge me to get the car back (saying all they want to do is repair the car and get the money, washing their hands of the issue) .

  Hi, Hopefully some one can offer some advice.. I am going to get 21k + 400p/month car allowance + all fuel paid company fuel card. What are the implications tax-wise i am presuming from research that; 1. The car allowance as it is rolled into my salary will be deducted @ 20%. I.e£320.00 in hand. 2. The fuel card will be seen as benefit in kind, how then will this affect monthly cash in hand amount, given that i estimate 25k business miles & 5k personal. 3.
• Renault Clio I Petrol - Run out of petrol. Won't start after refuel. 1 Jun 2013 (Forum)
  I can hear the fuel running. Check all the fuses. Checked the inertia cut out switch. Confirmed I have a spark. Plugs wet with fuel after turning it over in vain. Checked all the obvious HT and LT connections and the injector wiring connection.
