My car is a Peugeot 406 Diesel' 96, and I have not yet gone down the route of veg oil, however I noticed this place fairly local to my work place and was curious to perhaps give it a go. Has anybody else used anywhere similar? http://www.purefuels.co.uk/ Currently the web site states at £109.9, which would equate to about £30 saving a month for me.

My sister has an '04 Vauxhall Vectra. The remote fob wasn't working and she's been unlocking it by turning the key in the door then inserting it into the ignition to turn the alarm off. I replaced the battery in the key fob. Now the unlock button works but pressing the lock button just makes the indicators flash without locking the doors. I read on some forums that if the fob loses power for...

I have a burning desire to vent my spleen on Mr. Steven Firth. I will start this discussion by arguing that Firth looks down with a really limitless condescension on anyone who has not been dragged through the obligatory schools and had the necessary knowledge pumped into him. Then, I will present evidence that he who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate...

Had my trusty old tank (1995 diesel escort) 8 years now although she's starting to show her age (rust on sills) although engine etc all ok, MOT due next month. Normally needs the odd job to get her through, though nothing to much. I do all the small jobs (oil changes/ brakes boots etc ) and leave anything engine wise to the garages. I'm thinking about changing her for something newer, will be 3...

There was an advert for 'Junior Driving Courses' on the radio and the general opinion was; "The Neds will just love that... " ... "What a stupid idea to teach underaged kids how to become joy riders." I said that I believed the evidence was that this was more likely to prevented crime, like joy riding, it also lessened bad driving when they were old enough to get a licence. BUT - I can't...

After much used car based deliberation I am warming towards a 5 year old Audi A2, 1.4 Diesel SE. I'm not looking for earth shattering performance and I rarely undertake long journeys. I need something reliable, economic, reasonably nippy, moderately respectacle and not too small. Any opinions?

Hi, I know a car insurance policy that's only for "social, domestic & pleasure" use doesn't cover driving to work, whether regularly ("commuting") or even as a one-off. Does it usually cover: * driving a family member to work? * driving a family member to university, where they are a student? * driving oneself to university, where one is a student?

Well this is a step on from car park management companies issuing unenforceable "parking charge notices" made to look like "penalty charge notices". Today when I went into a local Sainsbury's, they had a lot of leaflets by the checkout threatening to "fine" people £50 if they park in "parent and child spaces" when unaccompanied by a child under the age of 12. Their slogan is: "Fine if you...

the amazing scene after an out-of-control lorry hurtled off a bridge and smashed onto the M6 below. Amazingly, no-one other than the lorry driver was hurt when his articulated truck plunged down onto the motorway’s southbound carriageway yesterday. It overturned on impact and came to rest straddling the hard shoulder and two lanes of the carriageway at junction two, near Coventry. The sight was...

Thinking about buying an older second hand car I was looking through an old 'Which car guide 2005/2006' and got to wondering why under the heading of *driving experience* cars with a diesel engine is always getting a higher rating than the petrol model. (ie a red star as opposed to a circle rating) I contacted Which quite some time and asked them, but never got a response. Having never owned...

I wanted to check whether I need the paper certificate now it's all computerised? -- Murphy's ultimate law is that if something that could go wrong doesn't, it turns out that it would have been better if it had gone wrong.

Hello. I've been looking for an economical car as a runabout with the occasional motorway journey and have seen one of these. The reviews are so good. Even Clarkson thought it was a good car. I was just wondering what people on here thought about them. Thanks a lot. Ed.

I've just had a look at at Renault Laguna 1.9DCi 2007. There was a spanner lit up on the dash and a text warning that the oil service was due. The last service by Renault was 4000 miles and 5 months ago so this is a mild concern. Does this warning come up merely down to timed inteval or is there some other reason (like engine management sensors) that may cause it. I find it hard to believe...

I was driving along this morning when I spotted a car comming towards me suddenly start spewing clouds of blue-white smoke. As it neared, I realised it was an NSU RO80. Judging from the odd whining noise it made as it past me, it still had a rotary engine. It's amazing how such an old car can still look...

Driving along a country road to work this morning, I was stunned to see another lorry driver down a road that was not suited to lorries at all, obviously just looking at where his sat-nav was telling him was the shortest route. This road is obviously never regularly used by HGV's because he was actually hitting the branches of the trees as he was driving along, raining clumps of leaves...

Has anybody found with these that the climate control takes a while from when you start the key to actually cooling quickly or heating? For example, outside temperature 25 degrees climate set at 21 degrees, you start the engine and get cool air, but only very slowly, it takes until the car reaches 70 on the temp guage before it goes "Oh right it's actually quite hot!" and kicks in the air con...
