• Optimum diesel economy 20 Oct 2003 (Forum)
  Given that a diesel engine gives max torque around 2000rpm, is it more economical to use 4th gear for cruising at 40-50 (e.g. on a speed limited road) than 5th, where the engine is only doing 1500-1600 ? Or will there be little difference?

  Hi. Last year I bought a 2015 Astra Bi-Turbo 2.0L. Up until a few weeks ago everything was fine but then I took the car into a garage for a service and told them not to move the backrest on the drivers seat as this would cause me massive problems with my back.

• Not yet sure - New Purchase 10 Mar 2021 (Forum)
  I have three options currently with I'd say up to £18,000 to play around with.  Option one is a 2014 onwards Audi Q5, 2 litre diesel S-Line plus.  Option two is a 2014 onwards BMW X3 likely 20D M sport. Option three is a 2016 onwards BMW x1 20D M Sport.  My wife has an obsession with Audi's of which, I'm not the biggest fan however I don't mind the Q5, it's a lot slower than the X1 and X3 pushing 0-60 in 9 seconds, the X1 is the fastest by quite a bit to be honest and obviously had the facelift in the back-end of 2015 so I'd say it's a lot more with the times tech and interior looks wise.

• Peugeot 106 1.1 1997 - Toasty Buns 9 Jan 2018 (Forum)
  from the cold wife, to the heating on chilling morns threads the £6 remnote control arrived today and by luck the local  Aldi had heated car seat s for £10 with 3 year guarantee !! This is just to show that it works, and that it has a range of at least 30 foot it has 2 relays , so maxed out, It can control two  10a 12v outlets  As it arrives £6 all in , from my man in the East ;) https://ibb.co/fi7B1m and as an added bonus, the remote looks like a Minion in his big underpants :) https://ibb.co/fn3Jgm This is how I've wired it, as my cig lighter is constant 12v  but you could just tap into a heavy duty 12v source https://ibb.co/dvALu6   first steps...very low standy amps . 11milli amps, if not less  https://youtu.be/ALoixRtiY4A    messing about, to test if it would run a 240v inverter disco bulb , incase you were wondering :) and yes, I did take the video with a potato :) https://youtu.be/A7-cCBro4sY I am trying a spare battery..as the heated seats take 2.5-3 amps  and can charge it on the fly https://ibb.co/bsZKnR https://ibb.co/jzSGZ6  Anywho, just to show that it lends itself to other applications.

• What does the team think... 15 Sep 2003 (Forum)
  about my chances of getting a Parking Penalty Charge Notice retrospectively overturned. Here's what happened. Last December (I know, b****y C*******s shopping) I got caught-out one dark gloomy evening in Central Milton Keynes. Parked in a spot that I thought was OK. It subsequently turned out to be for Community Transport Users (whoever they are) but was identifiable only by a small easily missable (in my opinion) plaque attached to a lampost!
