  Does anyone else own a peugeot 406 with a misfire? If so how did you cure it?? I have tried better fuel, replacing the knock sensor, cause that's what the diagnostic machine said to do, replaced fuel filter, plugs, and it still does it. Any advice?

  First order for 500 has been agreed. Not a great performer (85mph max) but main bonus is said to be commonality of fuel with other vehicles and simplicity and extra fuel economy. Wonder if the technology it will make it into the mainstream consumer market? StarGazer
• BMW 318 valvetronic petrol consumption 8 Dec 2003 (Forum)
  I have a 318 with the new fuel efficient valvetronic engine. Does anyone with a similar car check their fuel consumption figures? I'm getting 43mpg on the motorway, and 33mpg on A roads. This seems less than BMW's own figures. Is this normal?

• Nissan Micra- loss of power. 5 Jun 2003 (Forum)
  It starts and idles OK, but complete loss of power when the accelerator is pressed and cuts out. I have changed the fuel filter, rotor arm and distributor cap with no significant benefit. Could it be a faulty fuel pump or something else? Many Thanks Keith

• Any - New Shell V-Power Nitro+ 23 Apr 2013 (Forum)
  At the weekend, I was amused to see that Shell is rolling out an updated version of its V-Power premium fuel, called V-Power Nitro+. Unfortunately, it contains no nitromethane, so it will not give your vehicle the performance of a top fuel dragster.  However, it does contain "25% more friction modifier" than its predecessor.

• Conspiracy Theories 12 Jun 2008 (Forum)
  Any BRs have any conspiracy theories to do with motoring ? Having read that many of you are sticking to or below speed limits to conserve fuel and save money;I think fuel price hiking is the perfect big brother tool to get us to obey speed limits, so controlling traffic flows,without the government forking out for expensive road building, or satellite monitoring.

  I have to change the fuel filter which seem to be an easy job but before I start does anyone know if there is a pressure release valve for the fuel system -if so where might it be - I have checked all round engine bay but anyone who has looked in one of these will realise it's like looking for a needle in haystack.
