• Honda CR-V - Unexpected 2020 CR-V Hybrid electronics melt-down 6 Apr 2024 (Forum)
  Having had exceptional reliability from my wife's sequence of Honda Jazz vehicles over the past 10 years or so, I was not expecting a melt-down on my 3 year old CR-V Hybrid. Last week the dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree with multiple error warnings - and even more alarming I lost
• Any - Shell V Power Price Premium 12 Apr 2023 (Forum)
  I would be interested to hear what extra price people are paying for using V Power rather than regular fuel. When it was first introduced V Power (near me) was 3 or 4 pence a litre more than the standard Fuelsave but that seems to be getting bigger and bigger. For the last few months

• Honda Civic Hybrid - First Impressions 27 Aug 2022 (Forum)
  miles in it, I have to say that it does everything really well. The big revelation is the power delivery. Although it’s the same 2.0 full hybrid powertrain as the CR-V, it now accelerates more like an EV, and gaining speed now produces a much more muted tone than previously, with simulated gear changes

  Gone through 3 tanks of Shell v power diesel over the last few months. Averaged between 41 to 44MPG. All three tanks where from same filling station just off M6 near Preston. On the last tank we went on holiday over to North Yorkshire. That tank full gave me 43.6MPG
• Not enough torque pulling away. Clever Land Rover. 22 May 2021 (Forum)
  Seen this on a few threads. Even newer cars mentioned that either have to be revved hard to pull away or otherwise will stall. Credit to Land Rover, my V reg manual TD5 has anti-stall. The TD5 engine is not the most torquey low down, possibly because of the disco gear ratios as it might

  Anyone notice the advice regarding using premium fuel has changed in the Ask HJ section ? "There is no independent data or research which shows that premium fuel is worth the extra money over standard fuel. Shell may promote the fact that their V Power is better for an engine

• Shell V Power and the Mazda Skyactiv X engine 17 Jan 2020 (Forum)
  On a North American forum somebody posted this comment: Shell V Power is high octane fuel, the equivalent of 93 octane in the US [this is the same as 98 RON in UK]. High octane would not work well in the SA-X. While conventional engines have sensors to prevent pre-ignition, the SA
